Pretty much the same with me. I am especially interested in covering 
hiking trails because even commercial GPS maps for my area lack a lot of 
data. Unfortunately, with winter in our parts, not much can be done at 
the moment. As for roads, I covered as much as I could at the beginning, 
trying different routes to work, but I more or less exhausted the 
possible routes - it's not a big town :). So now I have time to 
concentrate on my other hobby - developing map rendering engines.
