Again, if you find something that works, do let me know!

it seems you can import a custom gps route into igo8 (click
here) or igo primo (click
here).
it has to be a kml file, so either draw the route in google maps and export, or just convert an existing gpx file with one of the many converters around (a free online one
here).
the above threads say you just need to make the following folders on your SD card and drop the kml file in.
\iGO8\CONTENT\USERDATA\ROUTE
or
/primo/content/userdata/route
what puzzles me is why the file structure for the igo8 is uppercase, but lower case for the igo primo. maybe it doesn't matter?
in any case, once you turn the gps on it should automatically import the route. then you can save the route, and the gps will then convert it to a .dat file and save for future use.
