Can you please explain how that link is relevant to the Garmin SDK? It is a proprietary set of maps in Garmin format, right? (Do you happen to know which tools they are using in the map compilation?) Please correct and enlighten me if I am wrong, but I think that the only SDK that Garmin is distributing has something to do with a binary library for Microsoft Windows and Apple Mac OS X that speaks the proprietary Garmin protocols over USB or RS-232. Again, as far as I know, some recent models (Edge 605/705 at least) do not speak that protocol. Instead, they only implement the usb-storage driver, making the internal flash and the SD card accessible as block devices (drive letters in Windows parlance). I would love to hack the Garmin Edge 705 firmware to fix some annoyances, but I haven't been able to find anything about existing efforts. There is a firmware hacking scene for Canon digital cameras, for instance.
