OSM Map On Garmin/Polyline Types
The purpose of this page is to collect experimental evidence about which polyline types are shown by the GPS units. It should be used complementary to the other lists of polyline type mappings that are available. It is assumed that a TYP file is used, so a line should only be marked as no-show if it doesn't show even with a TYP file entry for that line type.

Regular types
The regular polyline types don't have a subtype.
| Type ID | RoadTrip 2.0.2 |
|---|---|
| 0x00 | unknown |
| 0x01-0x12 | yes |
| 0x13 | unknown |
| 0x14-0x1f | yes |
Marine types
The marine types have a subtype. For use in mkgmap styles the type and subtype of a polyline are simply concatenated: type 0x12 and subtype 0x34 become 0x1234. As the marine types are marked in mkgmap notation by adding 0x10000 to them, so the type 0x12 and subtype 0x34 become 0x11234 as a marine type.
