Hi Randolph

I think your test.txt TYP file might be exceeding various device
limitations and have a few other problems. I've just converted it with
mkgmap and then using TYPViewer to examine the resultant .typ file,
firstly it takes a couple of mins to open the file, then it seems to be
missing some entries.

I'd recommend:

Don't have [end][_point] on same line

Stick to Types in range 0x01 .. 0x7f. 

Be consistent with Type= and Subtype=; I think you have entries that
resolve to the same thing. If Type >= 0x100, the bottom 8 bits are the
sub-type and the rest is the type.

Don't have sub-types for cities (ie 0x01 .. 0x0d). Anyway, test-map
doesn't generate them which is why you see the single line of icons to
the left of the big block.

Have sub-types (up to 0x1f) for the ranges where they have definite
significance, ie: 0x2a..0x30 and 0x64..0x66

There are a few other places where subtype also have meaning but this
is manifest in the default icon.
