But when I use Google Maps on my Droid, it shows me my layers with the new route traced on the map, but does not give me the correct turn by turn directions, but instead the "default" directions that Google found in the first place. It does this with Google Navigation as well.

How can I create a custom route to a destinatioin and save it so I can get turn by turn directions using a modified route that I have selected?
Have you tried setting a few points along your modified route as waypoints? That would be my suggestion. That way Google Navigation HAS to follow your modified route. Just a thought.

To use an MP3 as a ringtone, just play the song in the android media player and while it's playing tap the menu key and select "Use as Ringtone".
