[mkgmap-dev] Command to transliterate Characters/Cyrillic/Greek into latin1 even for Unicode maps?

Wed Sep 3 16:40:45 BST 2014

Hi everyone,
okay - I found the problem now....

Is it possible that the command:
mkgmap:country ~ '(GRC)'

is not working properly for lines that are no address. So for simple 
streetlabels to be shown - it seems to me that "mkgmap:country~" is not 
properly read in from the boundaries file. Or the boundaries for Greece 
and for example Taiwan are not good at all (but it seems to work without 
problems for points!).
So if I create the map like:
/mkgmap:country ~ '(GRC)' & name:int!=* & name=* {set 
name='${name|ascii:} ${name}'}/
I end up with the nearly no street name transliterated. While if I 
simply use:
/name:int!=* & name=* {set name='${name|ascii:} ${name}'}/
then it works as expected...

Could it be that the mkgmap:country tag is only read in under certain 
rules, but not generally for all objects?

My current solution would be to just skip using the mkgmap:country 
command - and instead using a file in /inc folder that is changed 
depending on country (and anyhow not use unicode for maps spanning 
several countries like continents). That's not a big problem...
