Or (as I just stated in the iOS thread, where it really was off topic), 
BackCountry Navigator. I've never tried handling Garmin formats with it, 
but it works just fine with OSM or OpenCycleMap (etc) as map sources. It 
also has USGS topos, USFS maps, and various other data sources. You can 
download map areas for offline use.

I've used it to map several hundred miles of hiking trail including the 
whole length of http://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/4286650 and as 
secondary navigation on a number of bushwhack hikes, including visits to 
the trailless peaks in this area, which is about as savage as the 
Eastern US gets:

You can see from the above that I produce my own maps for it, using 
Mapnik of course!
