Customize the map
The TYP files, such as 10010.TYP (OFM Benelux full version) 20010.TYP (OFM light version), define the layout of the map and can be adjusted. For instance if you don't like the colours of the roads/areas, want another map symbol, or want make the road-lines wider so it's better to see on your GPS.
You can edit TYP files with a TYP file editor, below are the two main editors TYP viewer and TYPwiz described. Also mentioned are a few custom typ files from Openfietsmap users that are available for download undereath the page.
Typ viewer
This French editor is a very handy off-line typ file editor, works better and faster than the online typ editor. It is finally translated into English, it can be downloaded at https://sites.google.com/site/sherco40/home
Custom Openfietsmap typ files
You can share your typ file here by sending me a screenshot and an adapted typ file. Please note that I can not maintain and update every typ file. To install the typ file on your device, you can use Javawa's typchanger. If you want to change a typ file on a map on your computer, then use Javawa GMTK
BikePC's TYP file (optimized for Garmin Edge series)
Streetname labels were too small. Adjusting the settings on Edge Explore to make the font of streetnames bigger doesn't have any effect.On the Garmin Cycle Map Europe this works fine.
Solution: with TypViewer (4.5.43) edit all Polylines and replace FontStyle=SmallFont with FontStyle=Default.
Further edits: OFM's cycle route (dark blue) is not visible with the active course dark purple.
Blue (00 00 FF) is replaced with green (00 CC 00).

BikePC's fix for bugs in Garmin Edge firmware v. 21.16-23.xx (thick lines*)
*) this is issue is solved in the Edge firmware 24.xx
Ruud has optimized the OFM Benelux TYP file for the Edge 1050. Due to the higher resolution, the roads and trails on the map became too narrow and therefore less visible. With this typ file, the line types are wider and better visible.

Antonin's drinking_water TYP:
http://antonin.delpeuch.eu/images/drinking_water.typ
Changes:
- scaling up the pic for amenity=drinking_water
- removing the pics for benches and fences as they tend to bring too
much clutter in certain regions (especially because my GPS unit was
configured to display a lot of details, so that amenity=drinking_water
showed up at higher zoom levels).
