If you give the --index option mkgmap generates osmmap.mdx and
osmmap_mdr.idx files that should be installed with the others and have
registry entries like these:

"SOFTWARE\Garmin\MapSource\Families\${REG_KEY}" "IDX" "$INSTDIR\${MAPNAME}.mdx"
"SOFTWARE\Garmin\MapSource\Families\${REG_KEY}" "MDR" "$INSTDIR\${MAPNAME)_mdr.img"

If a TYP file is given as one filenames to mkgmap, you could include it
in the list of files to install and generate a registry entry for it:

"SOFTWARE\Garmin\MapSource\Families\${REG_KEY}" "TYP" "$INSTDIR\TYPEFILENAME"

Is that enough info?

Cheers,

Mark
