Tell me about it. I use a Magellan GPS, and we don't have any vector maps (not even a basic vector of streets). Non-searchable raster background only for us.<br><br>I'm not too familiar with addressing in OSM (waiting for BC to get addresses from government before I work on it), but do the streets really need names? The address nodes should automatically associate with the nearest highway if no street name is given. You can also use relations to associate nodes to streets [<a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/House_numbers/Karlsruhe_Schema#Using_relations_to_associate_house_and_street_.28optional.29">http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/House_numbers/Karlsruhe_Schema#Using_relations_to_associate_house_and_street_.28optional.29</a>]<br>
Unfortunately, this wouldn't solve your Garmin issues though.<br><br>As for getting rid of icons, the simple osmarender tags don't support that [<a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Osmarender/Tags">http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Osmarender/Tags</a>], but you could use a label relation with no label node [<a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Relations/Proposed/Label">http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Relations/Proposed/Label</a>]. Again, this goes counter to how OSM tagging is supposed to be done.<br>

Garmin format is unsupported and I think hell will freeze over
before Garmin makes their GPSmap 60Cx opensource supported.<br>
<br>
However, the more I play with this... I'm thinking of dropping the
addr tags all together. Provincial Park roads usually don't have
names, so the address tags are making less and less sense. The
campsite numbers might better be served as POIs. Routing still
works if you select a POI, on any system I know.<br>
<br>
The only issue is the rendering. Some campgrounds pack in the sites
so you could have 800+ POI close together (in some areas) <br>
<br>
New question: is there a way to specify it to render at only
extreme zoom? (ie I noticed the drinking water POI objects are
like that)<br>

<blockquote type="cite">This really sounds like a "mapping for the renderer"

generally discouraged. You have the address information (in the

you are adding in extra tags to get better Garmin support. You
should be trying to get a really good map database that is
agnostic to render engines (be they Mapnik, osmarender, Garmin, or
TomTom). It is up to the render engine/converter to improve how it
handles the (supposedly) correct database.<br>

My idea for adding campsite numbers hit a brick wall. Seems
the reverse engineering of Garmin doesn't support house
numbers. So I'm thinking of creating a dual purpose object:<br>
<br>
addr:city=Rock Point Provincial Park<br>
addr:housenumber=56<br>
addr:street=Campsite Roads<br>
<br>
name=Rock Point Campsite: 56 (still working on the name)<br>
tourism=camp_site (reason is so it shows up on garmin
devices as Lodging)<br>
<br>
(and possibly other tags still working this out.)<br>
<br>
<br>
On JOSM it renders all the campsite numbers as tent objects.
I think this might be very distracting on a map. So I want
to hide them from site. But still be there for searching
purposes.<br>
