[mkgmap-dev] mkgmap: problems with encoding file used with option --license-file

Sun Dec 4 16:45:01 GMT 2016

Steve,
that sounds like a plan... ;-)

Regarding lower-case option again:
I found old screenprints from one of my devices from early last year, 
showing all capital letters for streetnames and similar... sometime last 
year it seems to have changed. Newer screenprints from the device always 
show proper case....

I can't check how it was in earlier days regarding license and copyright 
information.... no real old files around anymore.... constantly running 
out of space here... ;-)

I guess it's fine to have it in 'proper' case as written in the files 
inside the license and copyright information, looks nicer. And the 
actual devices (what I could test) do definitely support it.
And I definitely prefer to unset the 'lower-case' option again if all 
runs fine without it.

Thanks
Patrik
