Back from holidays now (got about 25 hours of 1 second straces to upload 
- been a busy little lad on the break, but my partner is a little sick 
of going around roundabouts twice...).

I'm planning on sitting down over the next couple of weeks and rejigging 
the icons/layout/general feel of the styles used in the Garmin maps to 
see what needs improving. The white dot for traffic lights I'm sort of 
getting used to - don't really like it yet though, and I'm still getting 
some strange marine nav icons for certain things on the 60CSx.

Open to suggestions regarding what kind of roads at what zoom, icon 
usage, and anything else that can be styled.
