No.
One of the maps would need to 'made' transparent to do that ..
Making the map ... you'd need the source or deconstruct it from tiles .. then 'make' the map ... using what ever rules you want ... and to make it routable you'd need to buy some software .. think time + money = not worth it.
-----------------------
In the time between the start of this thread OSM would have improved. Has Olaf?
If you know something is missing from OSM you can add it .. provided the source is not copyright protected.

Olaf has clearly stated his topo maps are not being updated anymore whereas OSM are.
Olaf is still a valid and useful mapset for Morocco and I tend to use it more on my Montana than OSM.
There is a piece of software that can combine osm maps but when I tried to combine OSM and Olaf it had loads of errors so not really practical for use.
A quick way to switch between mapsets on a Montana unit is to set up 2 profiles one using OSM and one using Olaf then you can quickly switch between the two.

For the sake of saving someone going on a wild goose chase re above post from The Warden.
You cannot select a map from within a profile.
The only way to select a map is as follows:
Using a Montana:
Press the Map icon
Press the 3 bars ( icon 2nd from bottom)
Press Setup Map
now 6 boxes are on your screen- chose Map Information/ Select Map
Press on one map then chose either Enable or Disable.
The same procedure also applies to some other Garmin Units.
To the Warden:
If I am mistaken, perhaps you would be kind enough to reply with a step-by-step how-to (as I have done above) which would be helpful. Thanks

Ok I have the following maps installed on my Montana
Basemap
Olaf
OSM
Europe City Nav
I have set up 3 profiles as follows
Automotive - Europe City Nav enabled
Morocco - Olaf enabled
Morocco Road - OSM enabled
so if I want to use a different mapset I change the profile accordingly. Enabling and disabling maps in different profiles is exactly as per your step by step

Methinks there is some confusion here!
The map selection cannot be linked to a profile.
I checked with Garmin today and they concurr.
Maybe it is a terminology thing!

Could be, but I'm not sure how else to explain it. I suppose your selecting the profile rather than the map
It is a very useful feature
