The easiest way would be for you to create a map in JOSM with 22 ways. Give each way a different tag/key combination (e.g. highway=way1, highway=way2 etc).
Then create a mkgmap style that just defines 22 rules in the lines file, one for each way, and assign a different Garmin code to each way: highway=way1 [0x01 resolution 23] highway=way2 [0x02 resolution 23] ...etc highway=way22 [0x1b resolution 23] Note that only Garmin types 0x01 to 0x13, 0x16, 0x1a & 0x1b are routable, giving you 22 different ways to worry about. Many will look identical. Now create a gmapsupp.img and take a look at how each line type renders. You can find a full list of Garmin types here: http://www.mail-archive.com/mkgmap-...@lists.mkgmap.org.uk/msg01125.html (but note that it doesn't explain what they actually render as) -- Charlie _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
