Hi Rob,
Welcome on this forum. In the lower right corner of the map downloads you can see the date of the update, usually the maps are updated aevery week or a few times per month, this frequency may vary.
Thank you Ligfietser !
New style, night view, I wonder!
On Garmin’s standard maps night view gives grey maps with even darker details: Less light and contrast, more readable at night.
On ‘our’ new style night view gives the same light background as day view, but buildings shift from grey to pitch black. More contrast, less night readability.
Why?
Why? Because the night view is totally undeveloped.
Feel free to improve the typ file, I recommend to use an editor like typviewer, https://sites.google.com/site/sherco40/
OK, that’s why. Good reason.
I shall take a look and see if I can figure out how to when I sit in Turkey until end of december. Might need to ask some questions to appropriate places or persons…
Looking forward for your help andershl!

The typ file is maintained here:

Cool! Style updates are automatically synchronized at each map update, which reminds me to start one now 
hi guys,
why i cant choose the map type for Transparent overlay with elevation contours on http://garmin.openstreetmap.nl/.
please advice guys.
Thanks in advance.
I already posted it some time ago, but updated my own night-mode style recently.

Feel free to use it in whatever way you like, as I feel free to continue using your nice maps.
I’m seeing an artifact where waterway=riverbank seems to be rendering under a multipolygon relation of type boundary=national_park/landuse=forest.
This isn’t a new issue; it’s been this way for years, in my memory. I’m only now getting around to finally mentioning it. And I don’t even know if it’s an issue on your side. Maybe my build process hoses things…? 
Something else I have to do on my side?

Screenshots from OSM and my Garmin:
Device: Garmin GPSMap62st (FW 6.30)
Files: osm_generic_tiles.zip (North America/Oregon, Washington, California, Michigan 27-10-2015)
Tiles were merged under Linux with mkgmap --gmapsupp *.img
Thanks for the great service!
@kc voon: the map with contour lines is not available. Lambertus, better remove those future options from the website?
@mueschel thanks, I’ll have a look at your typ file
@beej71 I think it is an OSM issue, because the forest and waterbank polygons should be tagged in a multipolygon relation if one of those polygons is inside another polygon. Workaround: try the mapnik typ file or the generic new map.
@ligfietser: Works great! Looks great!
I modifed my call to mkgmap to include all the typ files from the variety of states I downloaded. I have no idea if that was the Right Thing, but it seems to have worked: mkgmap --gmapsupp *.img *.typ
Is this the right forum to make suggested additions to the TYP file? (e.g. leisure=playground, aeroway=*.)
Thanks again for the help.
Glad it works for you beej, suggestions you can place in this topic:

Yesterday a big change has been made in the website regarding how country maps are spread over the available servers. Previously all country maps were provided by one server but this generates too much traffic (up to 25 TB per month!). So now country maps are, like the custom maps, spread over a selection of the available servers.
As I said, this is a big change and while it seemes to work correctly there still may be some bugs. Please report if something is not working, you see something unusual or you get an error. Thanks!
Thanks for all the hard work you do.
Regards,
Peter.
Thanks for regular updates. I am glad to see my updates are reflected with garmin maps.
Due to a problem with my computer I reinstalled OS (windows 7 starter) and Garmin Basecamp I also downloaded Sri Lanka maps via http://garmin.openstreetmap.nl/ I download and install both garmingeneric and garmin genericnewsyle but only OSMgenericroutable and Globalmap are appearing but not genericnew. I initially downloaded via http://sfs4.pleiades.uni-wuppertal.de/garmin/generic_new/14-11-2015/29afe0a5ae5a4de1bb1256b716f0ee8a/ (from email I received). I downloaded but it didn’t solve the problem. Appreciate if some one can look in to this. Thanks in advance.
Umapathy, thanks for reporting, this doesnt look right. Do you see a map called OSM routable generic (new style) in your map items?
Lambertus, looks like the country name is not included anymore in the mapset? Also the data structure looks different.
Someone else reported to me as well that country id’s are missing in the map names.
Ligfietser,thanks for the promptly response. For testing purposes I did check with another laptop by installing 3 maps Generic Routable, Generic Routable new style and Routable Bicycle for Sri Lanka. Updated Openfitsmaps appears along with OSM Generic Routable but not Generic Routablenew. Though not a big deal, earlier I used to see the date with the map and the country in brackets now gone.
I use Garmin basecamp to make printed map (several A4/Legal and past together) do check in ground with Goverment Officers responsible for the village (Such as head of the village administration, Development officers). Then make necessary changes to the openstreetmap. I also put the same map to the my gps. I am in the process of doing this for particular selected villages in Vavuniya. Getting good updated will really help me. Google maps or here.net maps are not that useful at least here in vavuniya, northern Sri Lanka and unlike openstreetmap they don’t have any easy way to print those maps.
