[mkgmap-dev] osmc:symbol

Garmin's img format (unfortunately) only caters for highway shields.

You would therefore be asking mkgmap to generate a TYP file for any osmc
symbols it encounters.

In theory, this should not be a problem but you would still have to merge it
with your own TYP file and deal with any conflict of type numbers - again,
this could be possible.

I've had to create a style file which caters for most eventualities , both
in POIs and Lines.

You could reduce the number of pois by using a layering system with pois
plotted on top of each other using transparency.

Interestingly,  Waymarked Trail Hiking
<http://hiking.waymarkedtrails.org/help/rendering/osmc>   has had to make
some compromises when generating its symbols.
