1) Some of my polygons are not rendered:
This could be because the offending polygons need to be set at at higher level. Increase your draworder.
As far as possible try and match your type numbers to those used by Garmin - ie Garmin uses 0x0d for reservation , so use 0x0d for nature-reserve
Check the type numbers in the cgpsmapper manual.
Check if the types in your polygon style file match those in the TYP file; you may have declared say a farmyard as 0x28 in your styles but 0x2B in your TYP file.
TYPWiz can check for such discrepancies.
