I know its a sin but I have the 24K West Topo maps and am wanting to overlay NW Trails into Garmin's basecamp.  I'm guessing that I could upload it together with the .gdp created in basecamp to affect my desired end result (have NW Trails as overlay on garmin) but I want to see it in basecamp on top of the other maps for route planning.

I know I'm getting greedy - paid $220 for this thing (Garmin Vista HCx) and want to use all its features. 

This site will turn out to save me a hundred bucks if I can get the maps into basecamp and use vertical profiling. 

Otherwise I feel obligated to bight the bullet for this feature. 
If someone can tell me how to get the vertical profile I think I could even settle for something other than basecamp and donating part of what I would have spent. 

I have not been having the most fun trying to change waypoint labels and such in MapSource.  The labels seem to default to the elevation which takes too much screen space.  I know there are other editors out there but at this point I've burned 8hrs (probably more) just to avoid giving Garmin $120 or so.  If this was my day job at about $XX per hour, well, let's just say the economics of this venture are dropping faster than our economy.
