Hello,

what code page is used to store data in the shapefile? Is it 1252(ANSI-Latin I)?

Best regards,

rbr

    rbr,

    Global Mapper does not convert text to any code page for storage in the DBF file accompanying a Shapefile. The text written to a Shapefile will be the exact text values entered in whatever code page that you entered them in. It would be up to you to interpret the text in the appropriate code page outside of Global Mapper.

    Thanks,
