Danial,
You link to your custom sitemap from the standard sitemap see this link.

To use the sitemappath you just fill in the templates. It builds a table
and what I didn't know when I built my first one is that I should have use li
elements for maximum css designer effect but we're all learning here its 2.0
stuff. You might not even need the following.

<table>
<tr>
<asp:SiteMapPath ID="SiteMapPath1" runat="server"
RenderCurrentNodeAsLink="True"
PathDirection="CurrentToRoot" PathSeparator=""
SkipLinkText="">
<CurrentNodeTemplate>
<td>
<a id="A1" title='<%# Eval("description") %>'
runat="server">
<img id="Img1" runat="server" src='<%#
eval("image") %>' height="76" /><br />
<%# Eval("title") %>
</a>
</td>
</CurrentNodeTemplate>
<NodeTemplate>
<td>
<a href='<%# eval("url") %>' title='<%#
Eval("description") %>' runat="server">
<img runat="server" src='<%# eval("image") %>'
height="47" /><br />
<%# Eval("title") %>
</a>
</td>
</NodeTemplate>
</asp:SiteMapPath>
</tr>
</table>

Good Luck
