How do I use the test-map:all-elements feature?

(I have a problem with highway=service roads on my Legend HCx when it
uses Swedish, it labels the roads as "Allé" which I suspect is a
mis-translation of "Alley" -- solving this might require firmware  
fixing
though..)
    

When invoking mkgmap, instead of giving it all those *.osm files, you  
just use "test-map:all-elements" as the input file name. This is a  
virtual file so to speak and will generate the test map. Normally it  
is centered around London, which might be not what you want. By  
setting the *environment variables* BASE_LAT and BASE_LON you can  
place the test map at any coordinate you like. How you set environment  
variables depends on your operating system. On a Mac (using the  
standard bash shell) and also on Linux with the bash shell you can use  
"export BASE_LAT=..." and "export BASE_LON=..." to set it in the  
terminal. You'll have to use the same terminal to start mkgmap,  
because the environment variables are separate for each terminal.

Yeah that list is really awful to edit. I structured my findings the other way around, so noting all objects that were found in the search function of Mapsource, and not where an object shows up.

I have attached my points file, which in the first part consists of the explication where which object is found in Mapsource. There are some types inside that are missing in the wiki and also notes if objects are not exchangable via typfile. If someone prefers that format, feel free to build up on it, or include it into the wiki page
