Even if I load a theme file with nothing in it, it doesn't seem to matter.
I have worked out a set of typ codes for the roads and trails that work.
Now I'm looking at points (POI), and I'm getting almost nothing on the Zumo.   The only POI I'm getting is a WC using the Openfietsmap_full style & mapnik typ.

Ticker Berkin posted a while back about a test map,  this sounds useful, so I generated a map with this: java -jar ~/Apps/Mkgmap/mkgmap-r4565/mkgmap.jar --gmapsupp --verbose --order-by-decreasing-area test-map:all-elements ~/Apps/Mkgmap/mkgmap-r4565/examples/typ-files/sameOrder.txt But I must be missing something because that doesn't show any POI's on Qmapshack on my desktop, and the polygons are messed up.
Is this feature documented anywhere?

Any help is appreciated.

Yes delete (backup before) the map themes file, it's overriding the .typ
However there is an only editor for it somewhere, forgot the location right now.

    I took a look at those, thx.     Unfortunately they don't really
    tell you what feature you're editing if you've created a map with
    mkgmap.   typwiz is a windows program, which doesn't work for me.

    What I determined is that these typ codes don't work :
        0x2c, 2f, 10101, 2d, 33
    These work as expected: 0x2a, 0x02, 0x01, 13

    The theme file has names such as MAP_PLTCL_INTL_CLR,
    MAP_ROAD_RESIDENTIAL_CLR and MAP_ROAD_RESIDENTIAL_CLR. Perhaps
    these  translate to a typ code, and overwrite what is coded by
    mkgmap?

    Have a look at

    www.javawa.nl <http://www.javawa.nl>

    or

    https://www.pinns.co.uk/osm/theme_editor.html

    Although themes are text files, Garmin is particularly fussy
    about certain text characters and a surplus of spaces. When you
    modify them manually

    you may find the theme is not recognized.

    To a certain extent it is a matter of trial and error when
    converting a typ file to a theme, ie the theme only recognizes a
    limited number of types.

    Typwiz6 can convert TYP files to themes - there may be others

    Themes are saved in Garmin/themes folder

    Good Luck

    It isn't working so well now.   I can use my map on qmapshack
    and it looks as expected, but on the Zumo it appears that Garmin
    does not recognize some (or all) my custom type codes.   Any
    ideas what the limitations are,  or how to work with this?  
    They've added something called 'Map Theme', which is a small xml
    file.   I don't see a way to load my typ file, but I didn't need
    to do that before since I included that with the mkgmap build.
