If you download the MapSource Installer version then upload the maps as usual.
If you download the IMG version, then you need to use PatchIMG or SendMap r3.3 beta of higher to upload both the IMG and TYP files to your GPS.
Note: These custom types will definitely show with the newer Garmin GPS models like the "x" series, StreetPilot, Nuvi and Quest, older models might work with the latest firmware update. You need MapSource v6.10 or later to view the custom types on your PC. POIs do not show up in Navigation moe on some models. (see POIs don't show on my GPS)
Some Nuvi and StreetPilot have problems with custom road types, (see Nuvi/StreetPilot shutdown or restart by itself). If you downloaded the IMG version, download the MS.TYP file instead of SGJohMap.TYP
