I wonder if anyone has a TYP file available for the default mkgmap styles.
If i download the world osm routbale map from Lambertus' site at 
http://garmin.na1400.info/routable.php
the colours and symbols in Mapsource are not displayed very well (horizontal 
brown stripes representing forest, yuck!)

I know this could be represented a lot better with a simple TYP file (Garmin 
uses nowadays also Typ files for the city navigator etc)
and since the routable garmin osm maps will be of the killer apps of the osm 
community is there a TYP file out there that could be implemented in the 
standard mkgmap?

To give an example, I put two images on 
http://sites.google.com/site/openfietsmap/osm-1
The first one is the default mkgmap of a region in the Netherlands, the second 
one my openfietsmap with a modified mkgmap style and TYP file.

On osm there are more such styles, like the mapnik version which look very 
pretty:

So any ideas to improve the layout of the mkgmap styles with a typ file would 
be recommended.

Cheers,
Minko
