Suspend

I reloaded all the maps with this box checked and it now routes correctly. Thank you! I had this problem when I was transferring maps through the USB cable directly to the GPSr. Turns out my transfers were corrupted at times. Sometimes routing worked, other times it failed with the same error you were getting. I switched to transferring maps using a card reader and I haven't had a problem since.

I formatted mine in my girlfriend's digital camera.

Thanks for the reply. It's good to see I'm not the only one that had these problems. I picked up a card reader yesterday and transferred several maps through it with no problems. So at least I have a work around. As for my GPSr, I'll use it for a while and see if it "settles in" like yours did. If not, maybe I can drive to Petawawa, the healing point for troubled receivers. :-) Thanks for everyone's suggestions....

Hmmm.....well, I do have the latest versions of Mapsource, GPS Firmware and USB Drivers. I have tried a front and rear USB port directly on the motherboard. I have no problems with any other USB devices on the same computer, ie digital cameras or usb memory sticks. There is no USB hub involved. I have tried two different memory cards. I have tried 3 different usb cables and I don't have any of the power saving settings turned on for the computer. Thanks for the possible suggestions. I wish Garmin would respond to my support request as fast as you guys have. :-) I've heard of other people with different Garmin units having nothing but problems transferring map data and they switched to using a usb card reader and that solved everything. Now I just have to decide whether this is a MapSource software problem or if there is really something wrong with the USB transfer chip on my 60Csx and I should return/repair it. It's only just over a week old.

I saw $119 US at www.gpscity.com.

From what I got from that answer, you are still using the MapSource software to transfer the data so you still need a code. You're just transferring directly to a memory card instead of through your GPSr to a memory card. I take it the "unlocking" stuff is encoded into the maps during the transfer to allow or disallow the maps to work with your particular GPSr.

Hi, I'm having some pretty major problems trying to tranfer maps from City Nav NT 8 to my 60Csx over USB. Waypoints transfer ok. I figure that's because it's such a small amount of data. If I transfer 1 map, it may fail, it may complete but contain corrupted data, or it may complete successfully. If I try to transfer more than one map, it will always fail. When it fails, here are some of the ways I've seen it fail: The transfer will stop part way through saying the device disconnected. This is how it normally fails. The transfer may complete at the computer end but the 60Csx still sits at the "Transferring Data" screen. The transfer may complete at the computer and appear to complete at the 60Csx, but the unit didn't reboot automatically and a manual reboot shows no map data was transferred. The transfer may complete at the computer and appear to complete normally on the 60Csx (including reboot) but the data is corrupt meaning not all street data shows and any routing attempts will fail. Sometimes when the transfer fails it messes up the memory card and the 60Csx won't even boot up anymore. A quick card format in my digital camera will solve this and let me boot again. It took me about an hour yesterday to get one map seemingly successfully transferred. I have logged a support request at Garmin but so far no response. This is driving me crazy. I'm using all the latest versions of software, usb drivers and firmware under Windows XP SP2. I've tried the original 64 meg memory card and a 2 gig Kingston card and they both have the same results. I might try picking up a card reader on the way home and see if I can transfer maps onto the memory card directly without going through the GPSr. Has anyone seen problems like this transferring map data? Since I haven't seen any other problems with my GPSr, I'm wondering if it's a software issue or if there could be some bigger problem with my gps unit. Thanks...

Great!!! Thanks for the reply.

Hi, how to you load maps directly onto the card using a card reader? I'm having nothing but trouble trying to transfer maps onto my 60Cxs over USB and I'm thinking about buying a card reader to try this method. Are they just simple files? Do I need to copy them to a special folder? Any database files to edit, tricks, or anything odd? Or are we just talking about a simple file copy and everything magically works? Thanks for any help....

Hi, I'm new to all this and I've got a question on Geocaching etiquette. If I come up with a cool design for a geocoin and have some minted, is it ok to sell some online? I've seen some discussions where people have said that geocoins cannot or should not be sold. Thanks!!
