<br>
there is no consistency in a way Garmin's devices display different objects. Even if you see something in BaseCamp it doesn't mean that this object will be visible on nuvi or outdoor device.<br>
<br>
There are some informations for meaning of objects (poi, lines, areas), which you can find on some web pages, for example:<br>
<a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OSM_Map_On_Garmin/POI_Types" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OSM_Map_On_Garmin/POI_Types</a><br>
<a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OSM_Map_On_Garmin/Polyline_Types" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OSM_Map_On_Garmin/Polyline_Types</a><br>
<a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Editing_OSM_Map_On_Garmin/Area_Types" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Editing_OSM_Map_On_Garmin/Area_Types</a><br>
<br>
As a general rule I suggest to follow description in cGPSmapper manual:<br>
<a href="http://cgpsmapper.com/manual.htm" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://cgpsmapper.com/manual.htm</a><br>
<br>
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.<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>
