I tested this on a few items. I noticed that marine elements seem to
be displayed without requiring a TYP definition. I tried this with
some extended buoy types and with the pier/jetty line type. (Tested on
an eTrex.)

I have not tried to redefine these elements with a TYP file though, so
I can't say how or if this is possible.

Cheers.
