[mkgmap-dev] OT: Style to help mapping?

Mon Feb 8 07:40:38 GMT 2021

Apologies for the confusion,

What  I meant is something like a map legend (key)
An OSM file that generates a line or a polygon and a point and the 
key/tag for that element so that mkgmap can draw it on the output map 
from the Style and TYP.

Something like this attached file a bit like an artificial country, that 
has one of each ( most important tags, not the 80000 ones ;-)

Cheers
Joao

This has an effect on my cycling activities as well, I am now much more interested in details reg. e.g. highway=track without tracktype or highways crossing small waterways  (bridge or tunnel=culvert?) as well as different landuses like meadow and farmland.
