Garmin eTrex Vista-C Map Downloads

I just purchased this unit for my son. I wanted him to be able to use the street navigation as well as the nautical charts when he's out sailing in the Gulf of Mexico.
The unit came with some kind of base map, but it does not show any county or city roads (only state and federal highways). I also noticed that this map does not show in the MapSource application that came with the unit, and that the content of the MapSource map is different (e.g., it shows roads that the unit does not, and the unit shows marine points of interest that the PC map does not).
Is it possible to load the better road maps onto the unit without losing the marine POI information?
Is it possible to load the detailed nautical charts (BlueChart?)and street maps at the same time?
Excuse the newbie questions, this is the first GPS we've owned.
Thanks! .
