This page contains tables for mapping Garmin map element type names into type ID's. It is used by GroundTruth's rendering rules.

Introduction

Filling the missing data

These tables currently hold only a small fraction of all available types. The idea is for any user of GroundTruth to help fill the missing types. Possible sources of information could be:

  • Online TYP Editor - Nov 2014: This TYP editor is no longer available. Use TYPViewer or TYPWiz to edit TYP files. TYPViewer is free, relatively easy to use, and does contain a table of Garmin type codes. Whether they are complete and up to date, I cannot say.
  • cGPSmapper's mapping files.
  • Mkgmap's mapping files.
  • Experimenting - simply use an undefined type ID, make or import an icon, give it a name, and use it in your rules. Then check what your unit (or Mapsource) displays as a name for this type.

Data correctness

Please make sure the information is correct. Also be careful not to enter erroneous stuff into tables, since it can cause GroundTruth to fail when parsing them - this will mean that you'll be making life difficult to other users.

Sorting

Also: please try to sort the mappings in alphabetical order, to make things more readable.

Thanks from GroundTruth's author!

Definition room for areas, lines and POIs

Areas and Lines don't matter. You can use anything what you want by adding a typfile. Only POI matter, because otherwise they show up in the wrong category for the search function. For lines you can use 0x00 (I think maybe cgpsmapper accepts no 0x00 but only 0x01 and up) to 0x2b (line types 0x2c to 0x3f are shown on gps unit, but not in Mapsource)- or use non standard types in RGN,2,3,4 of format 0x????? and give a definition for them in the typfile POI of 0x????? are however not searchable for. For areas you can use 0x00 to 0x3f AFAIK.~~

I'm not sure about lines not mattering, I think I read somewhere that only certain line types are used by Garmin for routing? --Breki 18:51, 27 January 2009 (UTC)
Yip situation is different once it comes to routing. (I'ld suspect only 0x01 to 0x0a or 0x0b are routable. Oh 0x20-0x25 are reserved for contourlines and can't be used for other lines). Because of that, based on your use profile (i.e. on a mtb you don't want to route on highways or trunk roads) you should switch around a bit.--Extremecarver 23:15, 27 January 2009 (UTC)
According to cgpsmapper's RGNtype.txt: "Routable types are: 0x01 - 0x13, 0x16, 0x1a, 0x1b" --FedericoCozzi 07:31, 17 March 2009 (UTC)
