Surface areas

Some areas appear more than once due to the way they are displayed at different zoom levels.
Example: 1C00 -> 1D00 -> 5000. All 3 icons are necessary to display forest.
Points

Layout
The Gravelmaps come with two possible layouts. You can change the layout at any time. For instructions see the separate menu item (changing maps layout).
Basecamp Thin Layout
The thin layout makes areas with a high density of roads easier to read and is specially designed for display on PC screens. All Basecamp files (Windows Installer, GMAP) are pre-set to it. See an example in the short video:
Basecamp Wide Layout
For all Garmin image files (Region.img), the wide layout is the default. This layout improves readability on the small displays of Garmin GPS devices.
