[mkgmap-dev] Why are stiles and gates marked as "Pillar" on my Garmin?

It is used in the default mkgmap styles for most barrier pois: 0x660f (Garmin type for pillar)

barrier=bollard | barrier=bus_trap
    {add access = no; add bicycle = yes; add foot = yes} [0x660f resolution 24]
barrier=block | barrier=cycle_barrier | barrier=stile | barrier=kissing_gate
    {add access = no; add foot = yes} [0x660f resolution 24]

If you want to change the rendering, you can to use and adapt the mapnik type file or make your own typ file.
