Perhaps this is not appropriate to post on the development list, but I am a seeking help in building a style file. Despite having looked at the style-manual and a great many other places I could not find even a partial list of the Garmin types without which I am somewhat at a loss. I have been using mkgmap for some time with good results, except that the default style seems to omit cycleways, and perhaps other features that I have yet to notice. I suspect that most people use the windows TYPViewer or TYPwiz so avoid needing an explicit list, but since I am in a Microsoft-free zone, that is not an option here. I did try to run both under Wine, but the initial attempts failed. So far the nearest I have found is the source code from imgsrc. I have also just checked out the mkgmap source code, and had a quick skim hoping to find a list there. I was also hoping to see the in-built styles somewhere which I guess that I have yet to find. I do think that the style manual really needs to include at least a partial list (presumably all reverse-engineered) or pointers to where this can be found. Can someone provide a link, or otherwise indicate where this is in the mkgmap source to save me time. Apologies for disturbing proper development work! ael
Hi, I'm not a mkgmap developer, but some incomplete list is here: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/GroundTruth_Standard_Garmin_Types There is also some Excel table listing the codes including icons, not sure where to find it now, though. If someone has something more complete, I would be interested, too. <0174 Dne 31. 5. 2020 v 18:40 ael napsal(a):

Hi These are my lists, derived from various sources, experimentation with Garmin eTrex devices, GPSMapEdit, Basecamp etc. The default style sticks to these where possible and uses particular generic AREA/LINE/... for more specific purposes where Garmin doesn't provide enough refinement.

Again, thanks. Can I volunteer to add this info to the wiki or perhaps to the style-manual (depending on how it is generated)? ael
Hi As others have said, Garmin devices are not consistent their support of these so it is best not to hope for a definitive list. Again, as others have responded, there are quite a few of these lists already, and I'm guilty of having my own, rather than adding to a relevant WIKI, which is the best place for this information. But - I find it very handy to have this information as a big comment at the start of my points/lines/polygons style files, and maybe the same could be done in the default style. I've attached 1 more file - the non-searchable POIs that have meaning on my eTrex Ticker I have 1 more list, the POI that On Sun, 2020-05-31 at 22:05 +0100, ael wrote:

Indeed. I understand that. And it is clear how I could construct a pseude-map to investigate what my Etrek-20 does, although I think it is the same as the Etrek-10 & Etrek-30 which I think are already listed. Although I suspect that there might be minor cahnges depending on the firmware version.

So should I or someone else add something on the wiki? I really think that the current documentation is hopeless for someone who has not come across this sort of information before. Although all the useful posts people have contributed to this thread show how much is available, it is not easy to find unless you happen on exactly the right search terms. ael

Thank you so very much. I don't know how I missed that: I thought I had done all the obvious searches.
There is also some Excel table listing the codes including icons, not sure where to find it now, though.
That would be excellent. ael

Recently I found this Excel document: http://www.cferrero.net/maps/downloads/garmin_feature_list.xls I have personally compiled a page with Garmin eTtrex 10 symbols, with actual pictures of displayed icons: https://www.rigacci.org/garmin-etrex-10/ -- Niccolo Rigacci - http://www.rigacci.net/ Campi Bisenzio - Firenze - Italy Tel.

Hi ael! The TYPviewer program is distributed with the MPCTypes.txt file. It lists in detail the many Garmin types of polygons, polylines, points. -- Sent from: http://gis.19327.n8.nabble.com/Mkgmap-Development-f5324443.html
Hello ael, please note that rendering (and also indexing) depends on the specific Garmin unit and its firmware. The page https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OSM_Map_On_Garmin/POI_Types shows a list of "point of interest" and their default rendering / indexing on several device types. It also links to pages for lines and areas. It is a little dated, and does not always include the latest devices. Some where should also be a list for custome types, they are not available on all devices; unfortunately, I do not have the link to it. Kind regards, Bernhard Am 31.05.2020 um 18:40 schrieb ael:
