[mkgmap-dev] Building vs way in default style

Tue May 6 09:16:52 BST 2014

This issue can simply be solved by using a TYP file.
You can grab the default style typ file that we use in Lambertus generic OSM maps:
https://code.google.com/p/mkgmap-style-sheets/source/browse/#svn%2Ftrunk%2Ftyp%2Fosm%20generic%253Fstate%253Dclosed

The strange thing is that Garmin doesn't seem to recognize the building poygons type 0x13.
It is rendered as a white "unknown area" on Basecamp as well as Mapsource. 
And as Gerd says it is rendered under the water polygons (in most typ files it is always on top).

Does anyone know which typ Garmin is using in its own maps for buildings?
Or do they use a Typ file by default (with modern devices and many map details on OSM this is imho a must).
