Perhaps you've got time to look into this
http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=14.94963&lon=120.08165&zoom=15&layers=B000FTFT
 too.

Came across while tracing few uploaded gps tracks.

The output file should be several imgs (overview map, index, etc.).
All these files should be integrated into a single gmapsupp.img.  Add
the gmapsupp switch in your syntax.

mkgmap-r1624$ java -ea -jar mkgmap.jar --gmapsupp map.osm

--gmapsupp
Write a gmapsupp.img file that can be uploaded to a Garmin or
placed in "/Garmin" in a microSD card (such as by mounting the
device in USB mass storage mode).
TODO: explain if this is in addition to or instead of the
per-input files.

That is correct, you can't big areas for osm data via the Export tab
in the main site.

You can get the style file for osm-ph garmin map via the trac/svn.
Instructions on accessing the site is here:
http://esambale.wikispaces.com/osmphil_garmin

The daily Philippine extract is here:
http://download.geofabrik.de/osm/asia/philippines.osm.bz2

Good luck!  I'm happy other people are doing the garmin map conversion
as well.  If you can find other improvements we can of course
integrate them in the regular map update.

Weee!!

Sorry for the attachment.

I was using the latest nightly build for mkgmap but I guess I didn't 
read the part about the options for the command line. ;)  Will try that 
one with the --gmapsupp.

Will experiment some more later. ;)
