I think Roman numbers should be displayed as upper case roman number, at least when they are part of a ref or name. If you have always seen a street name as, say "Juan XXIII" it may be difficult to recognize it as "Juan 23". For dates it could be better to translate into Arabic numbers as you propose. _______________________________________________ mkgmap-dev mailing list [email protected] http://www.mkgmap.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/mkgmap-dev
