OK, what about this? Replace amenity=shelter with tourism=lean_to in the default style. Then, no amenity=shelter would show up in the map. If you can suggest a sensible Garmin symbol code for amenity=shelter, we can add that as well. >"Service station" is probably not a good description, as that implies a >place run by a petrol company. For the POI I would suggest "Exit >Services" if the area doesn't have a name, but others may have better >ideas. What about just Services? That would work a little better in other languages than English languages, because the OSM tag is highway=services. "Services" can be understandable in more languages than "exit", and the "exit" does not seem to add much value in English either. Best regards, Marko
