I'm not sure what problems you were having with different bluechart 
areas wiping each other out. I've tried my 60CS with topo data, road 
data, and the basemap data - you can use menu options on the device to 
choose which map to display. I'm assuming that it'd work the same with 
bluechart data (although I haven't actually tried it).

On my 60CSx, however, I have tried it and it works fine.  Be sure to get 
a  micro-sd card (not mini-sd, those are different). I got a 1GB card 
for ~$29 earlier this year and was able to put 3 bluechart regions (with 
*all* the maps for each!), routing road data and topo data in it, and it 
still has a ton of free space. You can can select which map is displayed 
at any given time using the menu options on the gps itself (press menu 
while looking at a map then scroll around to find the options). It will 
do things like "show all, hide all, show basemap, hide basemap, show 
XXX, hide XXX (where XXX is one map of your downloaded data), etc.".
