svn co http://libgarmin.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/libgarmin/libgarmin/dev
libgarmin

build and in the utils directory there is a garxtract.
garxtract gmapsupp.img filename

give it a dummy filename to see the list of files.
Then extract what you want. .RGN .TRE .NET .NOD ....

But it's better to work with whole files, you need the references
contained in the other files.

This doesn't work for NT maps since size of subfiles is unknown. (they
are contained in the GMP file
probably there is a way to workaround this)
