I have found that line types 35 and 17 do not show in Basecamp (the lines show if I change the line type) others say that they do is there a list of types which do not show in Basecamp ?

 I have minor roads dissapearing at some zoom levels in Basecamp (1Km to 300 m ) I have carefully checked my style file against the type file ( C ferrero style ) and can find no missing types in the type file, there are 3 different resolutions specified in the line stye so I thought it would be a missing line type but this does not seem to be the case any ideas ?

I am trying to find the optimum value of max nodes for splitter for the UK does anyone have a value which does not give " area to small to split " errors in MKgmap or is this not the solution to this problem ?

I have been using bbbike extracts and making maps with mkgmap with sucess but when I use geofabric I am having problems giving non visible forest areas (the pop up says they are forest) the type is 10109 for which there is an entry in my type file but they are not rendred in basecamp but they are in Qlandkarte is there a difference in the data produced by bbbike and geofabric ?

How do you get height data into maps made from OSM.
I have some hgt and adf files for Great Britain but do not know how to incorporate this into a map made by MKgmap from OSM files. I have found tutorials for US maps but do not know what format the elevation data they use is.

Does anyone know how the draw order of polygons in a typ file interact with the draw order set for maps when more than one map is enabled on a gps.
Also when a map is set as transparent is it just the background that is transparent as I have polygons drawn on top of roads at the moment. I am trying to have forest tracks and forest areas overlaid over an OSM map and still have the roads show through.

I have made 2 maps from Forestry Commission open data shp files in gpsmapedit one is forest blocks and contains only polygons and the other is roads and contains only polylines the map properties are the same for both maps with the data imported into layer 0 the roads are extended up to layer 2 and the polygons up to layer 3 I export each to an img file and then combine the two files to form a map for basecamp (I have tried mkgmap gmaptool and mstk all with the same result) but when I view the map in basecamp I see forest at 7km and above and only roads at 5km and under (I have made the maps transparent) so it seems as though the roads are drawn above the forest but are not transparent so how do I get this to work please I can't think of anything else to try.

I have used OSM data for GB and used splitter and mkgap to make the img files and then MSTK to install in basecamp which works however when I try to add an img of Forestry Commission forest blocks made from an open data shp file with gpsmapper and installed with MSTK the forest blocks do not show on the map. the img can be installed on its own and work and I have tried assigning different types to the polygons and a different draw order in the type file but cannot get the forest blocks to show in basecamp. can anyone help please.

Has anyone been able to load the free GB250000 KMZ from the garmin website into basecamp I have not found any other application that will load it either, if you inspect the doc.kml file it refers to  jpg images which are not in the archive eg images beginning with L1,L2,L3 only L7 images are present I have contacted Garmin support but they are being rather stubborn and refuse to look at it until they are given an error message to look at for some reason.
