1. What locale (initial language) do you use?
2. On which language do you see province/region/state name after this three cities? I do not see region name in Finnish for this cities and I think it is reason of my fails.

1. USA English or Canada English. My machine's a 1450LMT, am using the newest firmware whatever Garmin gave me. I am running the maps off a micro SDCARD. European map is unlocked.
2. I see "Nokia, L`a`nsi-Ja Sis`a`-Suomi" The `` being 2 dots on top of the letter "a".

Feel free to ask me anything else you want me to test. Im looking to break this firmware using Unicode maps.

Which language should I test this firmware and Unicode map on?

Changed text language/keyboard to Russian and gps has no problems finding the finland cities and addresses.

My theory is that garmin is transitioning all their gps firmware for full or partial compatibility with Unicode maps. It's costing them a lot of time and money to bring out a Unicode and nonunicode versions of every map.

I read that each firmware edition for the 1xxx series had better compatibility than previous firmware that suggests that garmin is trying to bring all their gps devices into Unicode compliance. Probably within a year or so this will all be history.
