Archived Support / UK mapping and User Maps

Just interested as to why the majority of GPS trail programs/websites can use the likes of google fine? Google have just updated the majority of the UK to hi-res now as well which is great.

I tried loading a track into TF then trying to align the map, if you like doing rubiks cube it may be fun but otherwise

I'll try taking 3 waypoints next time I go and see if I can match it up to those.

Just bought the program to do some trail mapping for all the local mtb routes.
Didn't realise till to late that the quality of the maps outside the US is well, awful. The view of my local forest is a large green featureless blob.
So, two questions.

1. As MS virtual earth maps are free to use can these please be integrated into this great program so us outside the US can actually get some decent maps.

2. I'm trying to create a user map to give me some detail but the problem I've come up against is to do this it seems I need to match a landmark on my map to one on the maps already in TF, problem being the maps are so poor I can't even make out major roads so calibrating the map is impossible.
How do I do this?

Thanks
