Hiding Routes, Tracks and Imagery?

I have been using BC for a short time (Used MapSource for many years) - but I am finding it extremely difficult to preform some basic management duties when using it to create routes and plan my outings.

I meed the ability to: hide routes, tracks and/or imagery overlays?

What I do - I typically download several GPS files from the internet, load them into BC and then create a new route from them. I then add in the BirdsEye Imagery add in way points and comments and then send to the device.

Right now I have to move things around in different folders and lists - but this is extremely cumbersome and quite frankly - stupid - this is no way to manage the large amount of data that I have collected over the past 10 years!

I see two SIMPLE way to solve this, but can't figure out either?

1. If you insist on this weird list method - give me the ability to select two or more list and display the data form them?

2. Let me have an option to hide the route, track and/or imagery (and transparent doesn't work all that well)

Any help here would be appreciated!
