[mkgmap-dev] address search in Nuvi broken

Mon Jul 21 13:48:40 BST 2014

So, after a lot of trial and error it seems that this bug is not related to
differences between commits. I supposed that --latin1 switch is implicit,
but if my options omit this parameter address search doesn't work. If I use
--latin1 explicitly, everything works fine.

This problem only occurs on Nuvi. GPSMap is not affected.

best regards
