My ASEAN Free GPS Map Project

This topic is rather old. But now I still have question, so please, correct me if you know, thank you!. I think, the problem we have now is displaying new fonts other than latein in our Garmin Oregon. As I know the best standard for character coding is UTF-8, for character like Chinese, Japanese the...

I guess once the font is regognized, it should be ok for displaying chinese characters on asiatic maps. I am not sure, I will try tomorrow with my japanese map and let you know. But Européan non-ascii characters dispay normally even with japanese menu, so language in the map and language in the men...

The Taiwan version for Oregon is already out: http://download.garmin.com/tw/download/TW_MAINWEB_UPGRADE/Oregon_TWN_v280.exe I saw that it has only 1 text file Taiwanese.gtt. Has someone already tried and say, which additional languages it can support when with appropriate text-file? e.g. Thai, Vietn...

It's really difficult. I have tried some fonts to make my Garmin Oregon display other Languages (XOR file *.ttf with 0x7676, change some Strings to Sakkal Majalla Unicode..., name file to 006-D0952-06.bin) but without success: - file Arialuni.ttf (23.275.812 bytes): the device hanged - file DFU_HMD....

Hi Little_frog, Are you still there?:) Could you recommend a useful replacement for the two fonts: 006-D0952-05.bin and 006-D0952-06.bin for all languages in the world, or when not, then for all the Asian languages, so that the device can display the menus correctly, and maybe fonts on maps? And whe...

After checking the *.gtt, i could not understand how the device knows which location to change the keyboard? Only with codepage 65001? Or it must understand human languages?:) It is really difficult to modify the *.gcd file. I only know some tools for unpack, merge the gcd file from here: http://e-t...

That is exactly the right thing! But I could not understand Thai . Could someone understand and explain here again?

I have some question and hope somebody know and share. I have an Oregon 300 US version, so it can not display font in menus and maps in eg Chinese maps. So is there a possibility to change it to display font in menus and maps in other languages (Chinese, Japanese, Thai...) and have a right keyboard...

I have seen in Garmin/ExtData some (font) files: 006-D0962-05.bin and 006-D0952-06.bin in the device. I guess these are fonts converted from TrueType .ttf, but which format is .bin? Is there any tool to convert .ttf to .bin? In *.gtt from other Garmin devices Nüvi 3* or similar there are 2 tags <upp...
