I have been trying to understand how the display of names and labels on map pages is controlled.
I am talking about the following two cases:
a) Labels that appear on the map itself which for the purposes here I will call 'Map Labels'.
b) Names which appear in a box at the top of the GPS screen when the cursor is placed over an item on the map page which I will refer to as 'Cursor-Over' names.
I appreciate the 'Map Label' display is partly controlled by the choice of type code for the polygon, line or point, but can this feature in any way be controlled by either the style configuration or the TYP file when a 'custom' extended code is used?.
You should be able to control the size of the font and if it is displayed or not with the TYP file. I think this are the keywords: ExtendedLabels=Y FontStyle=NoLabel (invisible) But depending on your GPS device, this will be overwritten by the firmware or the options the user did choose.
