I haven't tried to work around this "limitation" - I just set my trails to display up to 20Km zoom level and hence they don't display when zoomed out Fri, 20 Nov 2009 19:26:39 GMT puntoazul_dg http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/map_authors/message/11631 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/map_authors/message/11631 Gary thanks for taking the time to answer I understand what you say... custom TYP lines will be 1,2,3 or whatever pixels you specify allways at any zoom level, Fri, 20 Nov 2009 17:28:24 GMT Bill N. http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/map_authors/message/11630 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/map_authors/message/11630 Most excellent!

I agree with you,vector is better to raster, but im wondering if Fri, 20 Nov 2009 16:56:40 GMT Michael Schlenstedt http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/map_authors/message/11626 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/map_authors/message/11626 Of course, have a look at "View -> Manage Map Skins" and "View -> Map Skins". That's where you can use your custom type files.

(b) AFAICS there's no DEM there. (c) It's not a garmin format. (d) It only works on a couple of GPS types.
