I'd like to try loading my gps waypoints for various plant locations in
my backyard, but the maps I have, i.e. MapSend Topo and Nat'l Geo
"Topo", don't zoom down small enough. Anyone ever tried this?

Conceptually it's easy to do. Just create your own
geo-referenced "map" that covers just your property,
at the scale you want. I've done that using OziExplorer
by simply using a blank bitmap image.
Of course with the accuracy of consumer-grade GPS receivers
it may be a pointless exercise ;-)
