www.cgpsmapper.com The program has support for shapefiles, but I'm not sure if the free version does. Otherwise, you could use GPSMapEdit ( www.geopainting.com) and import your shapefiles, then save it as MP format and then use cGPSMapper to compile it to an IMG format. (There are some links set up in GPSMapEdit to send it to cGPSMapper directly, to eliminate a step).
