How to show Street Names in a TOPO map?

Topo Maps contain names of streets but they often don't show up !

The trick is to change the font style for each line from 'invisible' to 'visible'

This means from 'nolabel to default'

1) Load TYP file from a Garmin Map

2) Select streets in a TYP file , ie 0x4 to 0x9 using CTRL and mouse click

3) Right Click and select Font Conversion

4) Set all line font styles to "default" (ie make them visible)

5) Save TYP file (make sure Basecamp has been closed)
