You can definitely use a 1GB card and the 2GB cards will be more prevalent soon. In fact I use a 1GB in my 60CSx and your VistaCx will be no different.

Hi, I'm a linux user too but have relinquished myself to running an older laptop with Windows 2000 so I can make use of the Mapping software. I've tried unsuccessfully to run it in Codeweavers Crossover Office and have not had any luck with wine. You could always wait until Garmin releases it for the MAC later this year and buy new hardware and software LOL. p.s. i'm talking about Garmin's Mapsource program which is the only software you can use to load maps.

The manual is for chumps! And it's at home and not sitting right in front of me. I know it's there for a reason (now)....just didn't know what it was. No problem, I'm notorious for not reading the manual either

LOL, you're bordering on neurotic here... it's actually there for a reason. It's used when sighting with the GPS, see the manual for more

That's OK with me...thanks.

They don't give you the lanyard just to keep it in the box , next time tie it on to something LOL

Let's just say the big 40 comes next month!

As others have agreed with me, that's why I originally posted in the Geocaching Off Topic forum because I wanted to see how many Geocachers participated Can we move this back?

Hi all, Just curious how many of you participate on Waymarking.com and do you find it as enjoyable as Geocaching?

I agree it is foolish to stick the code between the cardboard. We should really email them and complain that they need to put a sticker with the code on the jewel case

Can you not buy this online from Aldi's? I live in the northeast and don't have any Aldi's here, also I didn't see anyway to purchase it through the website.

When I purchased mine, there was a short code (6-7 chars) if I remember correctly that you would register on the Garmin site which would then give you the 25 digit unlock code. There should be a piece of paper in the box with the dvd that has that short code. p.s. one more thing...if you install the software and use the unlock wizard within the program it will walk you through the process.

Don't worry, it's the correct one. I use the exact same one on my 60CSx as well.

If your other devices are working, then your most likely culprit would be the usb cable itself. Do you have another usb mini cable (from a digital camera), if so try using that and see what happens. Also, if another cable fails you could have a bum usb port in the gps

Unless you purchased the optional street level maps, such as Mapsource City Navigator you will only have access to the basemap on the gps. Once you purchase the optional mapping software, you'll get that nice long unlock code

Thanks for the clarification...I guess I was just hoping I could do a simple export of only the track log from within Mapsource. Obvisously this is not possible, oh well.

I can always count on you Timpat but I still am confused... This tracklog is in a gdb file with all the maps, waypoints etc. How do you just save the tracklog? I don't know why I am having such a problem with this LOL. Also, how would I save it in gpx format?

Hi gang, I couldn't find this by searching, and maybe I'm having a brain cramp but here it goes. How do I take a track log that I have saved and dumped into mapsource and export it as a file so that I can email it to a friend so that they can download it into their gps and use it so that they can follow the path I took on a hiking excursion? I really believe I'm missing something simple here...

Most of the usual retail places you see listed here still sell it at $349, but I have routinely seen them sold on ebay for $279 from powersellers with great feedback.

The total time doesn't add up? It's off 1 second!

it's a firmware limit, i assume they could increase it if they feel like it

I believe it's 2052...

You won't see anymore new handhelds from Garmin until next year if their release cycle stays consistent. I wouldn't worry and purchase what will make you happy now.

looks like spam and blatant advertising...thread should be closed.

I agree with red90, get the VentureCx. I already own a 60CSx and have multiple cables and transflash cards. No need to pay extra for something you already have. The VentureCx is exactly the same as the LegendCx except it's yellow I just bought a VentureCx as a backup gps unit. I have owned an original Legend and LegendC and I can vouch that the new C and Cx units reception are excellent. You will not be disappointed.
