If you run
java -jar mkgmap.jar test-map:all-elements

then mkgmap will generate an test .img file containing icons and  
polylines of various styles, each annotated with their respective id.  
The polylines appear at the origin of the map, you'll need to pan  
right (east) to see the icons.

I trust you've also seen:

Feel free to adapt/improve it to create your cycle map of France. It  
combines a custom stylesheet with a preprocessor for highway and ref  
tags.

cheers
Richard
