This is done on two features as well,
building=yes and shop=* for all those shops I can't find a suitable
category (for now).

A big issue is that:
1.  There isn't any generic POI category, you have to associate each
code to the pre-defined garmin category and sub-category.
2. "Garmin just offers a few menu items ... everyone must recycle
these items that are not useful."  Moreover, it is too car centric
(two codes for fuel, a point and a poly code for parking, but none for
bakery, butcher, etc.)
3. Recycling items cannot guarantee cross-device compatibility.

Anyway, if anyone have suggestions, let me know.

Perhaps we should organize some osm-ph garmin hack-day to map at match
all OSM map feature to Garmin codes?
