Custom Map vs Power Commander
Seems that most tuners shoot for about 13.2 for a full throttle roll on. That's what you should see at the bottom of your chart. What you don't see is the AFR for all the throttle positions and rpms.
IMHO you can have very close to the best of both worlds by tuning for mileage in the cruise range. As mentioned earlier two maps with a switch is a good idea.

Here's a link on the map switch install that I did on my bike. I used a Harley rocker switch with the led and wired it so that the led would light when the switch is on (which takes slightly more work than to not worry about the light). I ran the wired down the frame backbone, under the tank to the PCV.
if you email me your custom map and the map you were running when you got the 48 mpg....I will make you a map where you should get that gas mileage just cruising. What I will do is take your custom map and in the throttle/rpm ranges that are used during cruise...I will look at the other map and transpose the numbers. That should give you the best of both worlds...lol. email address is yardstick991056@yahoo.com
I would also tweak your two maps a bit. If the econ map doesn't decel-pop, take the values in the 0% TP and copy them to the other map. That should get rid of popping on both maps.

I do have a good grasp what they do and how they do it and what the numbers mean in a map. I like the PC V because of the autotune function and the wideband o2 sensors. I used a different system on an 07 and had great results. The PC V with AT and the Thundermax are very simple systems to use and fairly hard to do something really wrong if you are careful.
If I am not mistaken the PCIII does not have the capability for two maps only the PC V. If I am wrong....someone correct me as I am new to the power commander series.

I used some ome iclick's ideas to do mine and am pretty happy.
