Thread: TYP files, creating and editing with TYPWiz

I want to use an offline TYP editor to change the look of Garmin and OSM maps on my Oregon 450 (change what is displayed, and how it is displayed).
TYPViewer or TYPWiz (or is there another one)?
What are the advantages and disadvantages of each editor?
Thanks for your help!

Pick one, try to do the things you want to do and if you run into difficulties, try another tool. If you find any advantages/disadvantages or limitations, please let us know.
Good luck !

Do you have a list of all the types (codes) for city navigator maps. ?
When I open City Navigator Maps the Only thing you find in there is Extra Icons.

I note that the author of this tool does not want it to be shared. But it is free and can be downloaded here [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
The downloaded free license key seems to be linked to one e-mail address, I dont really understand the reason for this procedure for a freeware but I have asked for a key since I am more used to this tool than the TYPViwer alternative. Otherwise I would go for the TYPViewer instead.

As far as I know there are no lists avalible which code is linked to which polyline/polygone etc so some trial and error may be neccesary. Some good documenation can be found at [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] and that may be to same help.
