|

Why does only the first word in a POI name have a capital letter at the start? It's something I cant quite fathom, it looks messy and amateurish. |

yep, and it's been like this from the very beginning. We have told TomTom a few times, but they never listened. I guess once you start to correct it for one country/language you'll have to do it for all. And that is messy as each country has their own capitalisation rules. _________________ Lutz

I might be being a bit daft here, but couldn't it be boiled down to one simple rule for all countries? Namely:
Capitalise the letter if the user has pressed Shift. Otherwise don't.

eish you guys are so harsh on these programmers ... don't you know it takes a lot of man hours to make a simple adjustment like that ...don't complicate things as they only seem to know how to remove stuff and not add ![Wink](modules/Forums/images/smiles/icon_wink.gif) _________________ TomTom 5001 |
