Third party maps on new update

It appears that newest update broke third party maps. Is it a common problem and is Garmin working on a solution?

    With Openfietsmap the same problem - 2 thick black lines for streets - like mcinner1.

    here the same problem with OpenMTB- and Speichen-Map
    ugly thick lines frame the streets

    The Speichen-Map for Germany has now also been converted to BMP, the display is SUPER fine.
    The changes for the other regions will take place next weekend.

    Have fun

    @peggatsch, @mcinner1, can you please indicate which fields and where you can convert typ-files to bitmap-only so people can adapt the typ-file for their favourite map - in my case the OpenFietsMap Benelux? I'm using TypViewer 4.6.5 as a local and convenient typ-editor (https://sites.google.com/site/sherco40/)

    OpenFiets highway=secondary

    line indicating the line width:

    [_line]
    Type=0x04
    ;GRMN_TYPE: Roads/ARTERIAL/Main city thoroughfare/Non NT, NT
    UseOrientation=N
    LineWidth=5
    BorderWidth=1
    Xpm="0 0 2 0"
    "1 c #FFCA00"
    "2 c #7B6500"
    String1=0x04,secondary highway
    String2=0x03,Provinciale weg
    String3=0x02,Landesstraße
    ExtendedLabels=Y
    FontStyle=SmallFont
    CustomColor=No
    [end]

    same as bitmap

    [_line]
    Type=0x04
    ;GRMN_TYPE: Roads/ARTERIAL/Main city thoroughfare/Non NT, NT
    UseOrientation=N
    Xpm="32 7 2 1"
    "! c #FFCA00"
    "# c #7B6500"

    Thanks a lot for your quick response! How-to is clear, changing all non-bitmap line-types will require quite some work to do...

    It's unbelievable how Garmin manages time by time again to not fix known bugs with new firmware updates and to create new bugs in basic functionalities that worked well until then. Garmin just keeps sleeping.

    Where can I find and edit this TYP file?

  • 0 5 months ago

    In addition, the map view now ignores settings in the .TYP file related to font size and color, or text visibility for POIs. I had city names in big red font set in TYP. And the names of shops, schools, kindergartens, playgrounds, cemeteries, etc. were hidden. Everything is now visible and the small black font. I don't need to see it.Disappointed

    I use MapTK for OpenMTBmap:
