[mkgmap-dev] address search and the --lower-case option

Tue Apr 25 16:16:59 BST 2017

Hi all,

during the last days I tried to find a solution for the problem that my Oregon is (often) not able
to find road names which contain "ß" , like "Außer Ort" or "Büßlinger Straße".
If I search for Au the name "Außer Ort" is listed among many others, but when I type
Auß the device says that something like "not found, change search criteria".
When I type "Auss" it is also not found.
This problem only occurs when I build the map with option  --lower-case,
without that option the name is safed as "Ausser Ort" and search works without problems.
I found one work around : A change in the resources file resources\sort\cp1252.txt 
allows to search for ß when --lower-case is used but will not work without that option.
Now I wonder if anybody has a map which contains the names like Außer Ort and is able to
search this name typing Auß ?
