I second Garmin Mobile XT. You can add in custom maps (ie. atv and snowmobile trail routes, topo maps, etc.). I've been using it since my Mogul and it does work so much better on the Pro. I just wish Garmin would come out with a TTS update for Mobile XT. That would be sick!

How are you doing your custom maps? With the Map Utility on the desktop?

Yes, I use Mapsource from Garmin to add in my custom maps. They are not maps I made myself, just maps from other people.

Yea I know exactly what you mean. Don't they include updates such as new roads and closed roads that you can upload. And you can plot your own travel route around roads and POI's. I have it just haven't figured out how to use it and upload them to my phone. I did it once but that was when I first started using garmin a while back.
