[mkgmap-dev] New branch for default typ file

Mon Nov 19 12:07:57 GMT 2018

Hi

I suspect there will be a few TYP files for different usages.

I propose that they should be handled like the styles, where they are
gathered in a directory resources/TYPs and the build process copies
then to dist/examples/TYPs

I don't think a new branch is necessary, as there is nothing in the
system at the moment.

I'd like to submit my most basic TYPfile and attach the file and patch.
This, along with option --order-by-decreasing-area, has been adequate
for me for a few years (but I have problems with my new Etrex 30x not
showing some line types)

; This is an example TYP file.
; A TYP file controls how the Garmin device renders polygons, lines and points.
;  See https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Mkgmap/help/typ_compile
; for more information.
;
; This example sets most polygons to have the same drawOrder
;  See https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Editing_OSM_Map_On_Garmin/Area_Types
; so that mkgmap option --order-by-decreasing-area works in an optimum manner.
; It exposes all the known non-extended Garmin polygon representations, eg
; 0x01-0x03=City and provides some hidden polygons for naming large areas such
; as Counties, Islands...
