1. No need if you site it in the dashboard of your car. 2. Yes, 2GB (see answer 3)OK, you may no fill it but for the pennies more than a 1GB why not have expandability. 3. No, not imho. If you are going to use routing for driving you will need additional MapSource software (loaded onto your MicroSD card), personally I use City Nav Europe ver 9NT. Its an expensive but great bit of software. There is a wealth of info in these forums. I have learned a great deal over the last few months of trolling. The 60CSx is a very nice GPSr, have fun. Edited for grammer

I USED 2ND UNLOCK I bought City Nav Europe NT Version 9 from ebay. Used software that came with a deluxe package, i.e. software already unlocked to the specific unit. I rang garmin this morning to seek some guidance on how to unlock the software for my unit. The 2nd unlock code had not been revoked! I was able to (and have) unlocked City Navigator Europe NT9 for a seconf time on my unit. From Garmin only the City Nav Middle East 2nd unlock code has been revoked. This info is correct at the time of post, not to say theey wont get rid of it in the future.

RESOLVED First of all thanks to everyone for thier help and advice. I contacted Garmin this morning, really good service. Basically the product has to be registered with the original unit due to the fact I had the 25 digit code (already unlocked for the original unit before delivery). Then I had to invoke the second unlock on the product...... YES, second unlock (more in a mintue). 5 mins later I was in the reciept of a brand new unlock code. So if buying from ebay make sure the original unit hasnt been registered and then use the 2nd unlock. On 2nd unlock codes (from Garmin bloke) - 2nd unlock code was only revoked on City Nav Middle East. However, he was from the UK and maybe other US maps have had thier 2nd unlock code revoked. This info is correct at the time of posting, I bet Garmin get rid of the others IDC. Anyway, thanks again.... all I need to do now is get to a country that has caches and I'm off. Rio in a few weeks on the way home!!!

I don't think Garmin will be too helpful: This is from the Garmin website. My City Select manual spells out very clearly that to transfer the software the original owner must cease use of, and erase or destroy all copies of the software in his possession. Looks like I may have to bite the bullet and buy another unlock code.. oh well. Can someone please advise how I do that as I can't find it anywhere through there website without having to log on to the net through MapSource (can't do as I'm in Port Stanley on a Warship and the web connection is through a work laptop)?

So after some digging around and advice from above do you think the following would work? I have contact the seller, he didnt register it or unlock anything. The software was supplied when he bought his unit therefore the 25 digit code is specific to that unit ID. If the software hasnt been registered or unlocked then I wouldn't require a second unlock code. Do you think a phone call to Garmin explaining that I just wish to use the software for a different unit would do? I dunno? I'm loathed to return it because I should have done some research before buying it but then I don't want to be out of pocket with a glorified version of Microsoft Autoroute?!? In addition when I try to register online through myGarmin it doesnt even give the option to select City Navigator! Anyone else find that?

Cheers Sputnik, I have registered the Unit, when I try and register the City Nav NT Europe V9 it doesn't give me the option to select that during the process, only US Topo, City select etc. I'll give garmin a call tomorrow if I cant get any joy from here, problem is we only get 30mins free each week and I'd rather talk to my wife and Kids Any further advice anyone? Am I right in saying that the 25 unlock code is Unit specific and I'll have to invoke the 2nd unlock to be able to use it? Hence the problem from buying from ebay

Hi, I purchased a 60csx a little while of the intentions of caching (you'll see why I havn't started yet in a bit). I have just recieved "City Navigator 9NT" from an ebay purchase. The usual "un used product, it came with a unit and I didnt need it" sell line. It came with a un-used 25 digit unlock code. I have successfully loaded the software, unlocked it using the unlock wizard and can see all the info on my laptop. Here's the problem - when i send maps to my GPSr i get "Can't unlock maps" message. I cant find a solution anywhere. I understand that the software has to be unlocked for my unit but I cant see anywhere to tell it the information. I can't connect to the internet to register City Navigator. I am serving onboard HMS EDINBURGH in the Falkland Islands, although I have internet access it is via a work laptop, therefore I cannot connect my personal laptop (in which the software is installed). Can anyone help? I have done forums / google searches and spent ages reading FAQs but I cant make head nor tail over it. Cheers

Well, I'm not addicted yet but I have a good idea that I will be. Even though a little off topic what better way of popping my forum virginity by telling why the last 4 days have had me doing bugger all else apart from researching / buying my first GPSr and browsing caching websites: I am in the Royal Navy, currently serving in HMS EDINBURGH. On the 15th of April we left Grytvyken, South Georgia (wonderful place if you ever have the good fortune to travel too) to sail around to Stromness and then back to the Falkland Islands. As we picked up the pick I decided to to a web search for Grytvyken to waste some time. I was pleasently suprised to see a web entry from geocaching.com. A few years back I looked into geocaching but couldn't justify buying a GPSr, so unfortunately put the idea to bed somewhat miffed. I digress. The cache was located just by where Earnest Shakleton died many a moon ago. I could still see the approximate location of the cache from the upperdeck and was upset by the thought of missing out on probably the most remote cache in the world (please enlighten me if there is any others closer to the South pole or any other remote areas at that). It sparked my interest again and the rest, as they say is history. I have searched for caches in the Falklands but cant find any. Odd I know but I may find myself placing a cache before even finding one. However, shortly we are off to Monte Video and Rio and a few other places on the way home and I have located caches that I will attempt to find. The post is getting a bit long but suffice to say Mrs Trillan and Little Misses Trillan (twin girls) will enjoy following me around Dorset and beyond when I return this summer. I am looking forward to caching a great deal and hopefully will add it to my list of current addictions!
