JOSM sounds like the "some GUI tool" you want. You simply download a rectangle of OSM data around the region you need, draw in the paths or waypoints you want, possibly using a gps trace for a guide, save the data layer as a .osm file, and build the garmin map off of that.
What exactly are the features you're mapping? If there is some kind of physical path on the ground that other people might be interested in, you should add them to the database. There are plenty of off-road paths and trails in OSM, not everything has to be a *road*.
