If you get a desktop software such as National Geographic Topo!, which is one of the better ones, there is an option to use their MapXchange where you can dowload trails supplied by other users. But you would still need Mapsource Topo on your unit.
Is there anyplace like this that you can get download this type of trail information that will work with other mapping software (GPX files would be the most flexible).
Thanks,

I just got my 60csx, and am loving it.
1. I'm still on my first set of batteries, but I did a 9 hour session last weekend, and only dropped 1 bar, and this is after playing with it for a couple of weeks. I'm using standard Duracell batteries.
2. I haven't found much that I don't like. I with the SD card slot was in a different location.
As far as the maps go. I got the Garmin Topo maps, and returned them. I realize that they are 1:100000 scale maps, but in my area, this doesn't give enough detail. I just print a topo map from either Delorme Topo USA, or One downloaded from the Internet. I load the Metroguide on the GPS. This gives me enough detail to be able to follow my progress with the printed topo map.
