Yes it is.  Since I have the older 76CS (got it when it first came 
out) loading all the maps I need and then selecting which map to view 
is what I have done.  There is also a ranking the unit uses to select 
which map to show by default (you can't change it).  Street maps come 
first, then the topo maps, then the base map that comes with the 
unit.  Not sure where the bluecharts rank since I don't have any (I 
don't paddle the coast).

When I go the BWCA I load the street maps for the drive there and the 
topo maps for my canoe trip.  When I go to put in I go through and 
turn off the street maps for upper MN so that the topo maps will 
appear.

On the map screen bring up the menu, move over to the menu item that 
shows what maps are loaded.  Then scroll through the individual maps 
and toggle off the street maps covering up your topo maps.
