Hi Steve,

I have just started to have a look on the internals of the garmin 
fileformat. The wiki 
(http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OSM_Map_On_Garmin/Format) tells me 
that there are the formats
TRE
NOD
MDR
SRT
GMP
DEM

The documentation of the garmin-img sourceforge project also mentions 
the formats not yet documented in the wiki:
LBL
RGN
NET

I think LBL is the file in which the labels are stored in a non 
searchable format. And MDR contains the same information like LBL but it 
is searchable. Am I right?

It would be good if you can put your current knowledge to the wiki. 
Hopefully this will help to make progress to this long outstanding and 
highly demanded feature.
