Hello ael, please note that rendering (and also indexing) depends on the specific Garmin unit and its firmware. The page https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OSM_Map_On_Garmin/POI_Types shows a list of "point of interest" and their default rendering / indexing on several device types. It also links to pages for lines and areas. It is a little dated, and does not always include the latest devices. Some where should also be a list for custome types, they are not available on all devices; unfortunately, I do not have the link to it. Kind regards, Bernhard Am 31.05.2020 um 18:40 schrieb ael:
Perhaps this is not appropriate to post on the development list, but I am a seeking help in building a style file.
Despite having looked at the style-manual and a great many other places I could not find even a partial list of the Garmin types without which I am somewhat at a loss.
I have been using mkgmap for some time with good results, except that the default style seems to omit cycleways, and perhaps other features that I have yet to notice.
I suspect that most people use the windows TYPViewer or TYPwiz so avoid needing an explicit list, but since I am in a Microsoft-free zone, that is not an option here. I did try to run both under Wine, but the initial attempts failed.
So far the nearest I have found is the source code from imgsrc. I have also just checked out the mkgmap source code, and had a quick skim hoping to find a list there. I was also hoping to see the in-built styles somewhere which I guess that I have yet to find.
I do think that the style manual really needs to include at least a partial list (presumably all reverse-engineered) or pointers to where this can be found.
Can someone provide a link, or otherwise indicate where this is in the mkgmap source to save me time. Apologies for disturbing proper development work!
