Hi Dave,

it seems you don't understand the meaning of TYP file.

It is used to define how POI / lines /  areas are displayed (in Basecamp and the device).

Such a file is not part of the mkgmap distribution, don't know why, maybe the reason

is that some devices don't support TYP files, maybe it's because programmers aren't

much interested in it ;-)

You can find samples in other wellknown styles, e.g. here:

https://github.com/ligfietser/mkgmap-style-sheets

which contains the styles used for Minkos cycling maps:

I don't know if this page is up to date, but it may help as well:
