Now, for the question you really asked.  Unfortunately, Garmin doesn't have
any kind of custom map utility and hasn't published the specs of the
MapSource format.

There are third parties out there who have developed the ability to load
custom maps into various Garmin units, though. These are not authorized or
supported by Garmin in any fashion, but you might conduct an Internet search
on the topic, via some search engine like Yahoo! or Google.

These are a couple I've run into...NOT an endorsement or a recommendation in
any way...but I have seen the websites, if you want to look:
