Trail Running Maps

Google Maps and Bing are fine for mapping your road running, but I'd like to see my trail runs on a trail map. Even very high traffic trails are not visible on these maps. And I'm sure some people have mapped these trails with other Garmin devices or with other methods.

I use a Forerunner 110 so I don't want the map on my watch (it's not an option), I just want it in Garmin Connect so I can see the network of paths. That way I could see what options I missed, where certain forks might have lead me, so I'll know better on the next run.

Until you offer trail maps in Garmin Connect, is there a website where I could import my Garmin data to see my runs on a trail map?

Thanks.

Have you tried using OpenStreetMap? It is available as an option in Garmin Connect.
OpenStreetMap does include a lot of paths/tracks/trails etc. A lot of them have been mapped from GPS tracks. Though it does depend on whether anyone in that area has mapped them. If paths are missing, then you could add them.

Though the map style for OpenStreetMap used in Garmin Connect is not great for this, you have to zoom in quite far to see the paths.
