Something like Lonvia's excellent hiking map, perhaps?:

There are lots of different maps using OSM data.  It's be impossible for 
the OSM "standard" map to show all of the information that's in the 
database, so there are lots of different maps that specialise in showing 
different information.

It's also possible to add relation names to mkgmap-created Garmin maps - 
have a look at at "apply" on this page:
