okay, I got it working. Great.

I think we should open a wiki page where we should add what 
line/poi/polygon types are possible.

For lines I think any 0x10??? is working (definitely many more are shown 
as given in maptk/cgpsmapper documentation). I did not really bugproof 
this however. It could be possible that while those lines shown, there 
may be other problems if using the whole range (like 0x80 being 
identical to 0x40).
0x12??? however does not work in Mapsource.
So there seem to be again limitations on what shows up and what does not 
show up.... Maybe GPS will again behave different.

Or does anyone know what types are possible to be selected?
