I am trying to understand the mysteries of Garmin feature codes. I am
guided by the list that is in the cGPSmapper manual plus other
sources, some of which have quite obscure codes, in creating my
personal .typ file that I use in conjunction with mkgmap. Such codes
are necessary in order to obtain greater variation in representation
of, say, various land use features. Yet I cannot ascertain whether
these codes are recognised by my Legend HCx until I upload the
resultant gmapsupp.img, and often they are not recognised. Does this
depend upon the individual GPS device or its firmware? Does anyone
know of custom codes, particularly for polygons and polylines, that
are usually recognised by Garmin devices?
