Is there an overview of moving dozens of Mapsource files into Basecamp?

Just a couple of points, and may be of interest to others.
basecamp is not limited to having just one database for all your routes, you can if you so wish create many, and then use them for areas such as France, Germany,UK and so on, you could if you wish, use a database per holiday, or if you so wished (it would be a be a bit pointless) you could use a database per route, this would then give you the option of having the same named waypoint in many places.
i am not sure to how many databases it allows, but i am upto 20

Actually that's a good point for more complex holidays, allows for less waypoints to be loaded.

Not sure about 1 per trip, but it would allow local day to day and trip mode..

The other added bonus of having multiple databases is that the software opens and responds quicker, no waiting for it to load a million routes.
Be aware that some garmin units will still not be able to handle waypoints with the same name.
