You can have multiple map layers displayed at the same time on your Garmin. The upper layers (use the parameter draw_priority) must be set to transparent, so that they work as an overlay to the underlying layers. My Garmin mapset consists of the following layers: +2 an overlay with SRTM contour lines +1 an overlay with oneway and access indications 0 the main layer with a Topo-map (not transparent) -1 a routing layer consisting of the routable road net work (not visible, since it is below the topo layer) -2 a search layer consisting of the POIs for the garmin search function (also not visible) The three visible layers allow a better control of the map display than a single map layer, e.g. the oneway indication is displayed on top of the roads, indepently from the actual road style. The none visible layers provide a seperation between the search and routing functions and the visible appearance of the map.
