Problems with TYP files
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.
