    map transfer error for 60cx

    in GPS technology and devices

    Posted · Edited by thesanctuary

    okay, i've narrowed it down to the new card. it's a 1G sandisc ultra II micro sd. for some reason, mapsource won't read it. i put the 64MB card that came with the 60cx in the reader, and it worked. so i must have to format the new card, but i'm not sure how to do it. can you walk me through it?

    Were you able to load the maps before you ran the update?

     

    First thing to try is to make sure the MicroSD card is properly seated and locked in. Next, use that external card reader to try and load the maps, yes it will work that way. That would rule out the SD card.

     

    Next step would be to call Garmin and ask for a warranty exchange. I just did the same thing, on my new 60Cx, with the exact same problem.

     

    I could load maps to the unit when it had the 64MB card that came with it. i got a 1G card and now i'm having troubles. I'll try the original card again and see if that changes anything.

     

    also, should the card reader show up on the transfer options in mapsource if i want to transfer directly to the card? or can i save the file onto the card and then open it from the 60cx?

    i just downloaded the latest software version for my 60cx (software 3.00) from webupdater. and now i can't download maps to the unit from mapsource. when i try to transfer maps, i get an error message that says "Your GPS does not support map transfer." Could this have something to do with the software update? I'm not sure how to fix it.

     

    also, as a side question....can i transfer map data straight to the microsd card if my computer has a card reader (sd card reader, which will read the micro sd if i put it into the sd adapter that comes with it) built in instead of through a usb card reader?

     

    any help on either of these questions would be greatly appreciated.

    Aprs Problem

    I have a Kenwood TH-D700A and a Garmin 60C all hooked up running APRS. When my 60c is hooked up to the ham, the 700 will just ramdomly shut off. Has anybody experienced this or have anything i can try to fix this?

    For Sale: Rino 120

    in GPS technology and devices

    I apologize to everyone for the previous poster. There has been miscommunication with the previous poster and she decided to flame me in public. In my very first post, i said $150 OBO. A lot of people offered me $125, but i think that is to low. What ever happened to the amounts between $125 and $150? A lot of people told me they would pay the $150, but eventually backed out of the deal.

     

    I understand that it is possible to get an empty box. If you want pictures, then ask me. I will even take them with the date showing on the rino. The problem with the previous poster is that she is blaming me for these things, when she never asked for them. BTW, the gps on the rock is actually a Garmin 60C.

     

    So i apologize to the community for this flame war that should have stayed via e-mail. This is not how i do business. I am fair and honest and all want to do is sell my rino.

     

    As stated in my previous post, the rino is still for sale. It is a rino 120 with 3.6 firmware installed. Comes with the manual, belt clip, and PC cable. I'm only looking for serious buyers who really want to buy the rino.
