I use CP1252 for Europe and English/international names whenever 
possible. I think it is the best compromise, especially because some 
devices do not support required code pages, like for example there is no 
support for CP1250 on Edge.

Multiple code pages would require multiple maps with separate indexes. 
To get correct routing between multiple separate maps, each map should 
have external routing nodes on boundaries. These nodes should be at the 
same position on adjacent maps. I guess mkgmap has no support for that 
kind of nodes on irregular country extracts.

Proposed suggestion could be to force external routnig nodes on every 
road at crossing of administrative boundary.
