Thanks for the guidance. Pls can you elaborate though on yr response# 3 below. The reason I used the "symbol and comment" display is because the system won't allow duplication of an existing name (i.e. Restroom). That is the reason I added a number after each one. Pls advise if there is a way around that. Thks.

hi lonestar,
pls allow me again to guide you on your contributions.
here are some points:
1. new waypoints and correct waypoints (to replace the incorrect waypoints) should be submitted at Waypoints thread. those waypoints who are for icon replacement, renaming, distance correction, or deletion is submitted here (as you've already done).
2. the church icons are already properly categorized. they show only as small blue square in mapsource, but pls do try to browse it on your gps device as you will see that it is already a church icon. here's a way to check it on mapsource, right-click the icon and select "feature properties". churches are categorized as "place of worship". this is the same for other icons also. this is also typ-dependent. if you want to see the church icon on the mapsource, then use kuya rally ralleon's typ file HERE. kuya rally's typ is very useful for units with small screens (i use it for my omnia and i use kuya hbt's typ or kuya suntzu's typ for my nuvi). maybe kuya suntzu or kuya hbt can also include the church icon on their next typ file version.
3. nicely done on putting a correct word on comment field.
but upload the correct waypoints at Waypoints thread.
note: although on the waypoint properties, pls do select the display to reflect "symbol and name" and not "symbol and comment".
4. nicely done on distances.
5. on your parking waypoint, pls do indicate at comment field if the waypoint is marked at parking entrance.
6. you can also remove the "dots" after the "@" sign. Read Section D.4 on waypoint standards.
7. lastly, pls separate the tracks from the waypoints and upload your tracks at tracks thread. the tracks included in the waypoint file will only serve as reference for waypoints marked at areas where there is no road yet on the map.
thanks sir.
