Mapping Tofino... Garmin Map Points

Spisany wot acrosscanadatrails dnja 29 September 2008 w rěči English.

Hi,
Doing some more mapping of Tofino,BC

Does anyone know how to tag the description of a point... say amenity=bikeshop
and then name=Buds Bikes
how to tag what gets put in the description box?
I'd like to have the Company Address, and phone number in there, putting as much text as allowed.

Hopefully this is an easy one.
:)
Sam

P.S. is there a list somewhere which shows all the tags which represent all the default icons on the Garmin Legend CX?

Note that the proper tag for a bicycle shop is shop=bicycle. That way it will show on the cycle map.

Hi,
Here is a list of the features that mkgmap supports
http://svn.parabola.me.uk/mkgmap/trunk/resources/garmin_feature_list.csv

I also started making a list of what was supported on my mono eTrex Vista
osm.wiki/index.php/Talk:Mkgmap/help/custom

I believe the adding of names/phone numbers/etc is dependent on the map-creation software you are using. Mkgmap seems to just pick up the 'name=' tag, even to the extent that unnamed points appear as blank in the POI listings.

Cheers,
Mungewell
