Thats why all city names with "Umlaute" are just cut off. There are other languages with similar problems. This was the best solution to find so far and can not be changed. Unless somebody checks all 100.000 German city names and changes the necessary ones. You see what I mean? Best regards, Andy Reply    Reply with quote    Contact andreas
