Hi Franco, my understanding is that this is not a bug, but a limitation implemented by Garmin. My mothers Nüvi also doesn't load unicode maps. One reason might be that some indexes don't work with unicode and mkgmap doesn't write the needed ones. I cannot try that now. If the 750 loads a unicode map without an index we may have a chance by doing more reverse engeneering of old maps. On the other hand, I wonder how long they will the support the old img format written by mkgmap, maybe this is the first step to drop this support.

I just stumbled over this one: On a new Oregon750 I got the Error "cannot authenticate maps", while on the old Oregon550 the maps worked like always. I found out that changing the option "unicode" to "latin1" in my style did the trick, the resulting maps work on both devices. Over here in Germany I have no problem with latin1, but I suspect that in Russia or in the middle east or far east countries this will be a real problem. I attached the Error Screenshots.
