Hi Dave,
it seems you don't understand the meaning of TYP file. It is used to define how POI / lines / areas are displayed (in Basecamp and the device). Such a file is not part of the mkgmap distribution, don't know why, maybe the reason is that some devices don't support TYP files, maybe it's because programmers aren't much interested in it ;-) You can find samples in other wellknown styles, e.g. here: https://github.com/ligfietser/mkgmap-style-sheets which contains the styles used for Minkos cycling maps: http://www.openfietsmap.nl/home I don't know if this page is up to date, but it may help as well: http://www.openfietsmap.nl/procedure Gerd ________________________________ Von: [email protected] <[email protected]> im Auftrag von greg crago <[email protected]> Gesendet: Samstag, 27.

Dave, do your linetype have any 'thickness'. I tried with 0x10001-0x10005 and only got razor thin lines visible in BaseCamp v4.6.1 Greg On Fri, Feb 26, 2016 at 6:26 PM, Dave Swarthout <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: I am using line types 0x10000 through 0x1001b for various lines and they all display in BC and on my Montana. 0x10000 and 0x10001 are the oneway arrows that display alongside ways that are oneway. Of course, I have the styles defined in my lines file and the hexadecimal codes are in a custom TYP file. Hope this helps.

Attached is a map that I changed all COLORS for lines and polygons to RED, except for the background container 0x4b is white. This map is located NE of London The Garmin Montana 600 can see linetypes 0x00-0x3f and polygons 0x01-0x7f Has anyone got EXTENDED linetype to be visible in BaseCamp? I used 0x10001-0x10005 but they show up as thin lines only (no thickness) Greg On Thu, Feb 25, 2016 at 10:09 AM, Gerd Petermann <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: Hi Greg, try this command: java -jar mkgmap.jar test-map:all-elements to generate a map containing all possible types for lines and poi.

I realize that not all linetypes are visible in all GPS units. Since map development is easiest when I can see my results quickly, using BaseCamp is a great tool to see my results without having to download .img files to my GPS every 10 minutes. Do any of you 'mappers' have a TEST MAP file containing ALL POSSIBLE LINETYPES so I can use it and view in BaseCamp, or any GPS device to determine a USEFUL SET of visible LINETYPES. I think this would be a good to for mappers to have, otherwise, every time you want to add a new linetype, you have to see if it is visible in BaseCamp (or whatever software you are using) AND you need to verify that linetype is also visible in your GPS unit. I realize this 'test area' would have to exists in 1 location in the world, but you could make in the the ocean somewhere and just give coordinates so other mappers can find it. Has anyone else determined additional non visible linetypes in BaseCamp besides 0x17,0x31,0x32 and 0x34?

Even if you see something in BaseCamp it doesn't mean that this object will be visible on nuvi or outdoor device. There are some informations for meaning of objects (poi, lines, areas), which you can find on some web pages, for example: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OSM_Map_On_Garmin/POI_Types http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OSM_Map_On_Garmin/Polyline_Types http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Editing_OSM_Map_On_Garmin/Area_Types As a general rule I suggest to follow description in cGPSmapper manual: http://cgpsmapper.com/manual.htm Usually maps contain a TYP file, which define graphics for objects. This somehow unify map view for different devices. I think TYP allows for viewing some objects, that otherwise would be invisible. -- Best regards, Andrzej _______________________________________________ mkgmap-dev mailing list [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> http://www.mkgmap.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/mkgmap-dev _______________________________________________ mkgmap-dev mailing list [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> http://www.mkgmap.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/mkgmap-dev _______________________________________________ mkgmap-dev mailing list [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> http://www.mkgmap.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/mkgmap-dev -- Dave Swarthout Homer, Alaska Chiang Mai, Thailand Travel Blog at http://dswarthout.blogspot.com _______________________________________________ mkgmap-dev mailing list [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> http://www.mkgmap.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/mkgmap-dev
