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".
