Garmin Typfile

[ralfdoma]

I have a problem with the visible roads in different resolutions on my Garmin Edge 705.
At the moment I can see tertiary roads in resolutions of 800m.
If I switch to 500m I can see the tracks/grade1 and in resolution of 300m I can see
the service roads. I would like to modify my typfile so I can see both types in the
resolution of 800m.
What do I have to change???

This should give you enough to read........

Oh, thanks.
This is really enough to read for the moment.
Not all is needed. I know how to modify and exchange the typfile in garmin gmapsupp.img.
I only do not know in which way ;-)

Yes there is enough info to read.
You have to test and retest till you get it to the way you want.
As you did not say what map you are working with each one is different.

Once you get it working the way you want then post how you got to where needed to be.
And of course screen shots of the steps you took.
Even your failures you ran into along the way are just as important to post.

Good luck and let us know how you got on......

Scales for visibility of map elements are in SW of device. TYP file does not give the possibility to change this setting. You can only play with a level of details on the map on the device from max to min. There is only one way to change the type of polyline in the map source to readable on a lower scale...

The user need to find out for himself. There are things you can do and things you can not do. The only way is to read all the info and then find out if it can be done or not. That is why I did not spell out anything one way or the other.

Users need to take the time to read all what Garmin Edge 705 can and can not do.

Thank you very much for your information. That's exactly what I expected. I changed the unvisible polylines (on my Edge 705) which existed partially in the map source. (Service roads were defined, Tracks/grade1 were unvisible).
(By the way: I use the maps of Ralf Kleineisel which are the best für me using different types of bicycles - road bike and mountain bike).
And of course I already switched on and off the possibility of more and less details in the card. But either I see too much unwished information like unpaved tracks using my fast road bike or too few information using my mountain bike.
I know that the definition of the types of the roads inside the map file could be changed but this is a little too much effort for me.
I am already lucky that I got the service roads and tracks/grade1 visible since a few weeks now.
