Improving the map ================= Once you have created a simple map, then next step is to add some options to improve or customise the map. Option --route:: This option adds information to the map to enable automatically finding routes between two points. Option --drive-on-left::: Option --drive-on-right::: It is a good idea to set the correct option to indicate which side of the road traffic travels on. If you don't, then mkgmap will guess based on the direction of roundabouts which will often be correct, but its best to make sure. Option --code-page=1252:: This sets the characters that can be used + |===== | 1250 | Central and East European Latin | 1251 | Cyrillic | 1252 | West European Latin | 1253 | Greek | 1254 | Turkish | 1255 | Hebrew | 1256 | Arabic | 1257 | Baltic | 1258 | Vietnamese | 65001 | Unicode |======= + There is some support for the following code page values + |======= | 932 | Japanese | Displays fine, address search may fail. |======
