You will also have to create an OVERLAY skin using the elcosmenu overlay plugin. This will allow you to create a skin that will display on top of Garmin. This is how the OSK is being created.
THis really is not Newbie territory but if you want to dive right in to the mess we call RR, then feel free to give this a shot as well.
Good luck hope this clears up some of your answers.

Thanks brother, I'm not afraid to make mistakes. Creating back-up points is like breathing for me. damn ms os's will do that to you after 15 years of fiddlin'

I'm assuming others have made overlay skins, so since RR is opensource, I'll "take a look" at what others have done to see if I can adapt and overcome.

Thanks again

great! but for my country....i prefer mapking over Garmin becos the map is more detailed.

Can it be done for mapking too? the trail can be downloaded here

Give Garmin a shot! It's definitely much better, ease of use & more details than Mapking (Singapore/Malaysia). It took me a short while to understand it & then it's bye bye to my MapKing. Only disappointment is the native OSK is not available. Currently I use Zero Weight Keyboard & it works!

I'm camping here, waiting eagerly for John, Thunderstick & MonkeyRacer to finsish their OSK integration. It'll be perfect to use Garmin

Yes, I too have camped, but only till Friday afternoon. I leave for a 1200 mile trek across North America and into Canada at 6pm tomorrow. Inputing my waypoints was tricky with the osk I modded from my skin (Teknik2) this evening. The backspace key is useless to clear data that is already in the text-box, so that took some real polish engineering to get around. Also the fact that a my osk is a separate skin screen, and you cannot see the info going to the text box sux. Plus the mine takes up the whole screen and has 7 useless for Garmin buttons on it.....

So here I wait.......
