I have no idea. Mapsource creates its own index when uploading the map 
to the GPS. Maybe somethings wrong with the mkgmap index and that's the 
point where it is revealed.

Can you isolate the problem or give some examples where MapSource and 
gps find works and some where gps does not work? Please post your mkgmap 
settings also so that I can reproduce the behaviour.

Can we get rid of this, better nothing specified than this which makes no sense at all. Same for "fix me" in the address properties. It only fills the map with unneccesary data.

I don't know if the country information is mandatory for searchable 
garmin objects. That would be a reason for the default country.

The "fix me" is a relict of the old locator and can be removed.
