[mkgmap-dev] Anyone determine which linetypes are NOT visable in BaseCamp?

Fri Feb 26 23:26:46 GMT 2016

I am using line types 0x10000 through 0x1001b for various lines and they
all display in BC and on my Montana. 0x10000 and 0x10001 are the oneway
arrows that display alongside ways that are oneway. Of course, I have the
styles defined in my lines file and the hexadecimal codes are in a custom
TYP file.

Hope this helps.

Dave
