Thanks Gird. I'm on a Mac and don't have MacSource. I tried running
BaseCamp but I can't get it to load my files. Adding the '--latin1' setting
fixed the city search on my Garmin Nuvi. I am still having some boundary
issues, but these are caused because I'm trying to create my own boundary
file out of just my Northeast US extract.
