</div></div>The way the line appears in the final gmapsupp.img is controlled by<br>
mkgmap's style rules. Different OSM tags are assigned different<br>
Garmin line types by the style rules. So you can control how your<br>
tracks appear by selecting the specific Garmin line type that is<br>
assigned to them. If you want to go beyond this and use a custom<br>
style* for your lines you will need to delve into the dark art of TYP<br>
files.<br>
<br>
* i.e. one that isn't a Garmin default for your particular GPSr<br>

I know we can load track, but garmin allows loading of 500 point track only. If there was a way of loading 100,000 point track, things would be simple, but since there isn't it would be great to have a red colored line on the map which the driver has to follow.<br>
