One more thing that has been reported on the forum, is the issue that labels for hamlets in Mapsource are bigger than villages. If I look on http://ati.land.cz/gps/typdecomp/editor.cgi it shows that garmin type 0x1100 (used for hamlets) is shown as City name(Point, big) whereas type 0x0b

Dear Minko, A bit off-topic, but what will happen if you used a resolution that is not set in the options file, similar to what you mentioned below? On Mon, Jun 27, 2011 at 5:12 PM, Minko ligfiet...@online.nl wrote: - resolution 23 is mentioned here, although it is not set in the options

If you set a suburb to 23, then this means 23 or higher so with the default levels given below it will be displayed at level 24. Garvan On 27-Jun-11 16:29, maning sambale wrote: Dear Minko, A bit off-topic, but what will happen if you used a resolution that is not set in the options file,

Also note, that labels have nothing to do with resolution. They depend much more on the 0x type. Also there is a difference in importance of labels of POI/POLYGON/POLYLINES. If a place is shown but no label, then lowering the resolution won't change (but instead create a mess in the lower
