[mkgmap-dev] GRMN_TYPE

Tue Jan 30 16:36:53 GMT 2024

So, if they don't have a comment they don't have a standard Garmin 
usage?  Do all garmin devices follow the standard garmin usage?   I 
think not, but I don't have solid evidence other than it seems like some 
line types 0x06, 0x07, 0x18 won't show on a zumo XT.

I'm trying to understand:  when I use a typ code, and my own typ file,  
when does garmin do something differently than what I expect?
