I now understand,
I don't think so ;-)
I was under the impression that a line or polygon in the TYP file could be used to represent multiple entities in the OSM data, but as the 'type of entity' name comes from that file, I have to create separate lines/polygons for each different one. A bit labourious.
The name from the typ-file is only used, if the OSM does not have a name on is own. So for example in your typ-file the line 0x01 is called "primary" If you have a way in your OSM-data, wich is converted to a line 0x01 and which has a tag name=Examplestreet, than the resulting element in the garmin map will have the name "Examplestreet". If you have another way in your OSM-data, wich is converted to a line 0x01 and which does not have a tag name=*, than the resulting element in the garmin map will have the name "primary".
