OK, what about this? Replace amenity=shelter with tourism=lean_to in the
default style. Then, no amenity=shelter would show up in the map. If you
can suggest a sensible Garmin symbol code for amenity=shelter, we can
add that as well.

What about just Services? That would work a little better in other
languages than English languages, because the OSM tag is
highway=services. "Services" can be understandable in more languages
than "exit", and the "exit" does not seem to add much value in English
either.
