Hi! Yesterday I went to a "Stammtisch", a point where some friends meet each month. The bar where we meet is tagged as a pub. That seems to be correct, I asked the owner. You can eat there mexican food and drink cocktails. When I was near the location I asked my garmin with my brandnew map to find nearby POIs with food and drink. Our location was not among them. So what have I made wrong? Without changing something it gets the "beer mug" icon from Garmin and it is a bar/nightclub. I think I have to tweak my points file a little bit, but how? Or better: Which POI should I give to a pub that it can be found in food and drink? Dani

Personally, in a style file I use: amenity=pub [0x2a11 resolution 20] which translates as "British Restaurant". This works for me in England but obviously may not be ideal for you... The "garmin_feature_list.csv" in the resources folder has a list of other food-and-drink options. There's a page in the wiki somewhere that describes what appears as what on various Garmin devices, but I can never find anything on there.

I think you mean this page: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OSM_Map_On_Garmin/POI_Types Unfortunately it's a) a bit unwieldy; and b) incomplete If someone could tell me how to complete the "Filed under category" column without tediously having to look through every category for a given POI, I might spend some time adding to it. -- Charlie

I think perhaps we could ask at osm to get a small area (e.g. in the atlantic or pacific ocean or something like that), that is a "playground" to test tags and icons.In the meantime I eg tagged some very important shops in a Shopping Centre nearby. It is all correct, but I used it to test my icons. ;-) But perhaps the shop owners are grateful to get new customers. :-))) Cheers, Dani

There is no need to upload bogus data to the server. You can create a *.osm file yourself in JOSM. Or you can download a nearby area and create all sorts of shops and restaurants in your neighbourhood. I have done that a couple of times. Also to test mkgmap:unpaved, I downloaded some area around my home and did some virtual road paving and unpaving. There is also the test-map (sp?) feature of mkgmap. It generates all POIs in an area centered around BASE_LAT and BASE_LONG (default somewhere close to London, almost at 0N 0E). I filled in the "Edge 705" column at http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OSM_Map_On_Garmin/POI_Types and corrected part of garmin_feature_list.csv based on my observations. Marko

For testing purposes you can use an OSM file which you generate with JOSM or any other editor but which you do not upload to OSM. You can even merge in some "normal" downloaded OSM data if you wish.

I've written a small app in c that will generate an arbitrarily large grid of POIs or polygons, each with a unique tag=key combination, and the associated mkgmap style file to go with it. This lets you see how garmin type codes associate to icons and categories on any given GPS unit. Happy to share this, or the output of it (an IMG file and associated style file).

This sounds useful; please send me a copy. I have tried to use test:mkgmap, and it seems to work on my etrex vista hcx but roadtrip crashes when I have it loaded there and then switch to it (mapmanager works fine to install it). I then have to rm -rf the map data in ~/Library/Application\ Data/Garmin/Maps. Two thoughts: how is your program different in functionality from the built-in test:mkgmap feature? perhaps this could live in the mkgmap repository I've attached my script that produces a non-working test map (and real maps that work in roadtrip and on my etrex vista hcx) in case that's useful for you or if someone can spot what I'm doing wrong.

That would be really great! When I understand correctly I could merge it into downloaded data even with a text editor? Thank you very much in advance, Dani

Please don't import wrong data in the official online osm database. If everyone of the hundreds of thousands of osm mappers inroduces some tags for 'only for testing', the database would become unusable in shortest time. As others have written before me, you can download a region of interest and modify the osm file locally. Regards, Johann
