Hi. An observation, but maybe known to all mappers :-) I am using self defined TYP symbols for stay over huts or shelters along hiking trails or in the wilderness. It could be things like wildernes_hut lean_to shelter: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag%3Atourism%3Dwilderness_hut https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:shelter_type%3Dlean_to etc. For that i use the styles (points) to assign points in the group 0x2bnn (nn being a number). https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OSM_Map_On_Garmin/ POI_Types#Type_0x2b_(Accommodation) According to the above page, eTrex devices may not show higher number than 0x2b07 in that group. What i notice is that GPSMAP 66s/st picks up higher values such as 0x2b11-0x2b18 and displays them, whereas eTrex 32x does not pick up those but i have to map the same symbols/icons to lower numbers (which not all are free). E.g., 0x2b07 works. I yet have to try exactly where the cut off is. Even if the eTrex 32x does not show the symbol on the map, at least some of the points can be searched for. If i have the map pointer close to the point and search for "all points" the points will show up in the list of close by points. But they do not show up under "lodging" category. Does anyone have additional details or guidance that i could read to see if i can find better numbers to assign so that the self made TYP definitions would show up on the etrex 32x device? Regards Karl
Garmin uses 0x11500 - 1151F for its custom POIS in many topo TYP files You may want to check this out ; it certainly works for my GPSmap66. r Nick On 23/01/2024 20:00, 7770 wrote:

Hi The disadvantage of using extended points is that none are findable. I've had trouble with 0x2b (Lodgings) points showing or not on different devices (eTrex HCx & eTrex 30x) and software and some subtype# not being findable on different devices. HCx has Lodgings (0x2b) "Find" categories: 0:Other,1:Hotel/Motel,2:Bed & Breakfast Inn,3:Campground/RV Park,4:Resort and finds 5:Other,... 30x adds 5:Campground,7:"Sporting & Instructional" and doesn't show subtypes 3 or 6 I've resorted to generating 2 points with different subtypes for some. This is my usage of 0x2b: amenity=shelter & shelter_type=basic_hut [0x2b06 resolution 24 default_name 'Shelter'] tourism=alpine_hut [0x2b07 resolution 24] tourism=bed_and_breakfast [0x2b02 resolution 24] # eTrex Legend & 30x use different codes for campsite, have both! tourism=camp_site [0x2b03 resolution 24] [0x2b05 resolution 24] tourism=caravan_site [0x2b03 resolution 24] [0x2b05 resolution 24] tourism=chalet [0x2b02 resolution 24] tourism=guest_house [0x2b02 resolution 24] tourism=hostel [0x2b02 resolution 24] # Have both hotel &| restaurant POIs tourism=hotel | tourism=motel {set tmp:stopMopUp=yes} [0x2b01 resolution 24 continue with_actions] tourism=lean_to [0x2b05 resolution 24 default_name 'Lean-to'] tourism=wilderness_hut [0x2b07 resolution 24 default_name 'Wilderness hut'] tourism=resort [0x2b04 resolution 24] Ticker On Tue, 2024-01-23 at 20:12 +0000, osm wrote:
