or now you can use this tool by pietu :

This tool is created to integrate changed typfile into ready map image GMAPSUPP.IMG.

Don't use this tool with typfiles, that are not made for the respective map. If you want to use it with a typfile from another map, change the internal MapID of the typfile with GMapTool to the MapID of destined map before.

usage:

1. copy original image "MAP Original" folder (only one image)

2. copy .typ file same directory with "Change TYP File.exe" (only one typ file)

3. doublepress "Change TYP File.exe"

4. the changed image would be found in a directory named "MAP new TYP" (the original would be untouched)

TYP is a file used with the majority of Garmin maps. The file alters the display of the map elements, i.e. areas, lines, and POIs. It works similarly to the so called skins known in many other programs.
