After adding the following ideas to the end of my previous (and pretty long) post, I realized that the chances of them being read are probably relatively slim.
Therefore I repeat them here in a separate (and short) post:
How do we get the routing algorithms?
Is there a way to use BaseCamp's algorithms for our purposes?
Could we somehow get the waypoints for a given trail into BaseCamp and ask it to create the route for us?
Or, even better (because we could simply select the 'named trail' and let BaseCamp do its thing):
Since BaseCamp is creating the route (just in a different color) when you ask it to display one of the 'Named Trails', could there be a way to 'capture' this route information?
In order to be displayed, this information must exist somewhere in the system (I think).
They must create the 'named trail' route somewhere in the system. Then they probably call a 'display route' routine to display it.
(At least, that is how this non-expert sees it. Could be wrong, of course.)
