I see many good questions about advanced mapping techniques and I am trying to incorporate these ideas into my maps. I was wondering if we could combine these ideas into a ADVANCED_DEFAULT style? I do not know if everyone wants to keep their own mapping styles secret, but I have added to the default_style and do not mind sharing my own additions. That way new mappers can analyze this code and get up to speed faster and maybe be able to add more ideas to the community. If you do not like a feature, you can always remove that piece of code. My goal is to try to use mkgmap to map maps that look like Garmin City Navigator. So far I have added custom POI symbols for brand specific businesses (fuel, fast food, resturants) Added 1 way arrows Added Bridges over ways Added Bicycle lanes. Greg
