Hi. I am thinking on drawing a symbol for bridges on trails, but not for larger highways. The style would be selecting somthing like: highway=path & bridge=yes. I would create a type image for that, but the question is if there is any good type code, i looked up that 0x6401 might be a good choise, can anyone comment on this, is this a good choise or are there type codes that are better suited for my situation? Regards Karl

Hi Karl The type I use for Bridge is 0x10107. This is a marine extended line type and my eTrex HCx describes it as "Bridge" if I don't supply a TYP. For the TYP I have: [_line] Type=0x10107 String=Bridge ; lines either side of transparent UseOrientation=N Xpm="32 7 2 1" "- c #000000" " c none" "--------------------------------" " " " " " " " " " " "--------------------------------" ; "12345678901234567890123456789012" [end] It looks like you are talking about a point and 0x6410 is the correct value and is searchable as Geographic>Man Made.

Hi and thanks! I did not mention, but in fact i am looking for a line, not a point. Regards Karl On torsdag 12 augusti 2021 kl. 17:40:41 CEST Ticker Berkin wrote:

Hi Karl, there is no common definition for objects types on Garmin map, see https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OSM_Map_On_Garmin/POI_Types Mapsource and some devices treat POI 0x6401 as a bridge, so I think it is a good choice. But I prefer to use a line for a bridge. -- Best regards, Andrzej

Hi. A made a few checks using line for bridge=yes seems to be the only allowed because a bridge span over something. At least looks so from here: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:bridge Hece i am using 0x10107 on a line as suggested, it works well. Thanks all for those hints earlier! If i would anyway like to use a point instead of the line, is it possible to ask the line style to programmatically add a point in very specific cases, instead of first using --add-pois-to-lines and then filter all extra points using the points style?

Hi Karl,
is it possible to ask the line style to programmatically ... No, so far this is not possible. In fact, the points rules are executed before the lines/polygon rules. It might be possible to reduce the number of generated points though. E.g. we might add an option to generate POI only for specific tags. No idea if that would reduce memory or runtime significantly. Note that we already have an option to generate only POI for each way with --add-pois-to-lines=mid

Hi. Thanks and no worries. I dont have any urgent such need, just wanted to try my thought since i was very specifically looking to add bridges under the condition that it was part of a path: highway=path & bridge=yes. Therefor it felt excessive to use --add-pois-to-lines=mid. Again many thanks to all who answered. Regards Karl On lördag 14 augusti 2021 kl. 12:37:25 CEST Gerd Petermann wrote:
