Polygons
Garmin Nuvis do not use bitmap polygons . TYPWiz 6 uses the most dominant colour when converting to kmtf.
Transparent colours are replaced with 'white'
Lines
For most highways and lines only solid colours are used - tracks and railway lines are the exception.
TYPWiz 6 uses the most dominant colour when converting to kmtf.

My kmtf file is incomplete
Lines or Polygons which cannot be matched in a TYP file are not included in your kmtf file.
Instead, they are rendered using Garmin's default style.
