First, thank you, Ticker Berkin, the test map construction instructions
helped greatlywith understanding some of the issues with the selection
of point codes.

Second, the topic of selecting point codes gets weird!

I am trying to support multiple Garmin StreetPilot 2610 receivers, which
were released in August 2003. I bought my first one about then.

Today, I made a typ text (.txt) and used the test map generator to test
MapSource versions 2 and 6.16.3, which I use to support the StreetPilots
as 6.16.3 permits map tile selection to subset large area mapsets;
BaseCamp version 4.7.2, which is useless to me as I have never been to
find a way to do map tile selection; a Garmin StreetPilot 2610 running
version 4.80 firmware; and a Nüvi 3790 running version 5.10. On the
StreetPilot, the testmap failed entirely, only the builtin point icons
were shown. The Nüvi showed a large fraction of the test icons. I have
no good way to test how the device handles the icon categories.
MapSource 2.0 could not even find the test map as I was using the .gmap
form of maps and it only understands the registry format. I did not test
version further. MapSource 6.16.3 BaseCamp showed same set of icons, they
differed on the polygons.

I am attaching the test.txt and the testmap.bat (as testmap.txt) (Silly,
Google)

Thank you,
Randolph J. Herber

P.S., I still believe that burger restaurants belong with fast food and 
with neither
American cuisine nor barbecue. Yes, if I were searching for burgers I 
would search
under fast food.
