Any proficient GPS geeks out there?

Mapsource is going to have what people paid to have on there. Having used a Garmin 630csx mapping GPS in the greater NOVA area for the last 6 months, some things show up in national Parks/Historic sights and some don't. I haven't messed with the unlock thing, because the best I can determine is that it provides fishing holes. I agree with you, the Garmin site is not the most user friendly. I do not think it how your brain processes information, I think it is that Garmin's site is vague and not updated very well beyond their hardware side.

this may be a day late and a dollar short, but I use IMG2GPS tool. It's an automated loader that essentially does what MapSource does. I am in the same boat as you - just got my Garmin a month ago and I'm trying to master it, normally don't have a problem with such things, but I think this is the first tool I've bought that's smarter than I am.

I bought mine for use in IZ, I've been thinking about fooling around with GeoCaching, just to increase my familiarity with it.
