Maps for Garmin based on OpenStreetMap
Maps with Digital Elevation Model (DEM)

It is also possible with a DEM to see maps in 3D on BaseCamp and devices with such option (Oregon 600 for example).

Additionally, maps with DEM are able to calculate vertical profil of routes created in a computer or in a GPS device (if the model has such capability).

I can't do it from Basecamp and neither can do it by opening MapInstall seperately.

If your files don't have this size you'll have to cut/join them. I suggest you have a look at mkgmap help for more info (java -jar mkgmap --help)
