Great project! Just been through mapping some existing Maki icons to Garmin GPS Custom Symbols. They look pretty good on the GPS given the limitation of using bitmap with no transparency - after I converted them from PNG to BMP.

At this stage, this is how I've mapped Maki to the Garmin Custom Symbols:
* Airport=airport-24
* Bank=bank-24
* Bar=beer-24
* Campground=campsite-24
* Cemetery=cemetery-24
* Church=religious-christian-24
* Civil=town-hall-24
* Controlled Area=police-24
* Convenience Store=grocery-24
* Department Store=shop-24
* Fast Food=fast-food-24
* Forest=park-24
* Gas Station=fuel-24
* Golf Course=golf-24
* Live Theater=theatre-24
* Lodging=lodging-24
* Medical Facility=hospital-24
* Movie Theater=cinema-24
* Museum=museum-24
* Park=park2-24
* Parking Area=parking-12
* Pharmacy=pharmacy-24
* Police Station=police-24
* Post Office=post-24
* Restaurant=restaurant-24
* Restricted Area=police-24
* School=school-24
* Shopping Center=shop-24
* Ski Resort=skiing-24
* Skiing Area=skiing-24
* Stadium=soccer-24
* Swimming Area=swimming-24
* Zoo=zoo-24

Some of the icons I'd like to suggest for further development are:
* Amusement Park
* Beach
* Bike Trail
* Boat Ramp
* Bridge
* Building
* Car
* Crossing
* Fitness Center
* Information
* Picnic Area
* Radio Beacon (radio tower)
* Residence
* Restroom
* RV Park
* Scenic Area
* Stadium (a generic stadium type)
* Summit (mountain)
* Telephone
* Toll Booth
* Trail Head
* Truck
* Tunnel
