Backup for Mac?

I am installing a new OS (going from Leopard to Mountain Lion) on my Mac which requires wiping the drive. I have City Nav NA DVD installed on the machine.

Is it possible to do a backup and reinstall without losing the maps. I know the DVD version is not transferable, but I will be using the same machine. Will this kill the maps?

You can backup your maps (and restore them later) with JaVaWa GMTK
GMTK doesn't do your BaseCamp data, but BaseCamp itself has an option for that.

I am surprised you have to wipe the drive. Mac transitions are usually quite seamless. If you do not have a time machine backup then now maybe the time to get one in place. You can get hold of 1 -or TB drives quite cheaply now. Make a time machine backup, clear the drive, load Mountain Lion, restore the back up and then keep it going..
