[mkgmap-dev] Maps are corrupt when using --code-page=65001 [Zumo XT]

Wed Jun 10 10:07:03 BST 2020

Gerd,
 the Zumo XT is the latest Garmin product and it supports NTU maps - so,
yes I suppose unicode is fully supported. Is there a way for me to
double-check that?

Thanks!

Hi Enrico,

are you sure that the device supports unicode maps? Note the last
sentence in the description of the code-page option:
--code-page=number
    Specify which international character set is to be used. Only 8 bit
    character sets are supported so you have to specify which code page you
    want to use. It is entirely dependent on the device firmware which code
    pages are supported.

Gerd
