TYP files made for improved readability

**Smulan** · 24th June 2013, 08:47 PM

The more interesting typ files are the ones that are modifyed in order to improve readabilty in different situations. The ones supplied with most maps are of course a starting point for modifyed files but it can be a long way to go until you get it the way you want it.

Here are files made for improved readability
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
all cred goes to HMR !

There is a readme.txt supplied that gives the key to which file is for which map.
The files are made for improved readability primarily for MC off road use as said in the readme. Very good starting points for your personal customization.
Remember that the typ file must have the correct map id! Often it is possible to use a typ file for another similar map but then the map id must be changed to match with the target map.

Custom typ files - Anavasi 6.1.1 - with new features appear: polygones-lines-pois (img map looks like exactly as TopoNavigator at your PC)

Typ files made with TYPViewer v4.0.22
Date created: 28-10-2013 (new version 6.2.3 of Anavasis, has same points and type of roads with first version 6.0.2)

Spoiler: Links

For Mapsource: Put AnaDigit.typ into folder of Mapsource map

For all other typs: (use "Change TYP File" and "Gmaptool") as show:
1. Join "AnaDigit.typ" into img map with "Change TYP File"
2. The new "gmapsupp.img" from Change TYP File, drag-drop into "Gmaptool", and "I0000321.typ" too
3. "join" and "Output file" path & filename (etc C:\GPS\Maps\gmapsupp.img), choose "Mapset name", "check" into "Set mapset FID" and choose FID:800 & PID:1
4. Hit "Join all" and our map is ready

Some informations

This typ make Anavasi img map appeares not only polygons, roads, rivers, lakes, sea, cities and background looks exactly like navigation program (TopoNavigator v6) at your PC, but and all pois that TopoNavigator give them at PC but don't show them at img map.... It took me long time to discover them with GPSMapEdit and draw them with TYPViewer... These pois, was inside TopoMap and RoadMap of Anavasis

Α. New Pois of Interest appeares:

0x017 --> Park
0x019 --> Sports
0x032 --> Sea

0x013 --> School

3. Some polygons at TopoNavigator looks like public buildings (blocks ή line around the buildings), but at img don't appear all of them, for example:
0x01a --> Cemetery don't look like polygon, but as poi
Post Office-Banks-Police Stations don't look like polygon, but as poi

C. Lines:

1. New colors:
0x014 --> Railroad

Collection in link in post #1 updated with typ files for CNEU NT 2014.10
The typ files for previous CNEU could not be used by just changing the FID as could be done earlier. New layout for 2014.10 and I suppose the the file for 2014.10 can be used for 2014.20 by just changing fid to 3049 with TYPViewer (have not tested yet).
Note that theese files are small (kB, not MB) and do not contain all the extra pois which makes the ideal for gpsmap 276C/278/478 which is still the best gps for MC use in my opinion.
Use the files from panoshm's posts if you need the extra pois, and the files can be adjusted with TYPViewer to your own taste!

Base Camp and Mapsource, need another typ file than 34xx needs.... Thats why you see that blank lines inside tiles...

If you put Garmin at USB and try to see map from GPS, you will see that you show me....

But if you have install map at Mapsource (with right typ file for Mapsource) you will see something like that: (don't give attention at 3D view, I have join Anavasi with DEM map at Gmaptool for better view at Mapsource

)
