[mkgmap-dev] search for cities on GPSMAP 66s/st and etrex 32x

Wed Nov 24 07:26:15 GMT 2021

Hi.
It seems there was some device issue after all and not a map issue.
After removing all maps (including topo active) and then adding back maps a 
few at the time, search works again.

Strange indeed, but thank you anyway for answering, i hope this concludes this 
issue.

Regards
Karl
