Garmin Customer Service Top Notch
Chaos A.D./aka Arlsdaddy replied to Wojo1024's topic in GPS technology and devices
I have heard so much good about Garmins customer service, I'm almost hoping my 76CSX will have a problem! They almost sound too good to be true! ------Anxiously awaiting GPS failure -
I gotta get a couple of these! Very cool draco!

Upgrading From 60cs To 60csx
Chaos A.D./aka Arlsdaddy replied to geos of the jungle's topic in GPS technology and devices
But, bear in mind that Mapsource is just software and only comes with very minimal (non-routeable) map data. City Select or City Navigator must be purchased if you want higher quality routable maps and then can be loaded to your GPSr by using the Mapsource program. At the time you try to load the data, Mapsource will transmit the serial number of your GPSr to their web site and then allocate two unlock codes to you. One unlock code is good for that GPSr and the other unlock code can be used on another Garmin GPSr. For more GPSr's you will have to purchase additional unlock codes. Sorry, I should've been more specific. I purchased City Select (V6) when I purchased the 60CS. So my real question is, can I upgrade City Select V6 to work with the 60CSx or will I need to purchase a new version of City Select? That one will work, but you will need another unlock code for new gps device. -
Did I Just Get A Good Deal?
Chaos A.D./aka Arlsdaddy replied to tealtiger2's topic in GPS technology and devices
That was my first unit and I loved it for what it was. Great for caching, just don't expect to get a whole lot of maps in it. I used topo and had plenty of maps for my area. For being an older model, and if it works with no bugs, that's a heck of a deal. Good job -

Routes With Metroguide?
Chaos A.D./aka Arlsdaddy replied to Chaos A.D./aka Arlsdaddy's topic in GPS technology and devices
That's all good and I can make a route on pc...but when it loads to gps it doesn't show the route, just a straight line..... -
I can create a route in metroguide, should I be able to upload it to my 76csx? I thought you could do that if you uploaded from pc, but just shows a straight line to my destination.

Was kinda bummed when we received in the mail a 2 for 1 trade. We ended up with an activated coin that belongs to someone other than the person we traded with. Obviously by the track logs it is intended to travel Contacted the rightful owner to see what they want me to do with it. TRADERS BEWARE!

Direction Needle Gone Nuts.
Chaos A.D./aka Arlsdaddy replied to aintnorock's topic in GPS technology and devices
That's the first thing that always pops into my head, but the Legend doesn't have a compass. My bad for refering the bearing pointer as being a compass...if it has an arrow and points, it's a compass to me Still, doesn't it need calibrated also, so it knows which way is which? Wife has the legend, but I haven't played with it much. I know I had to calibrate my old Sportrak Color though. -
Buying New This Week
Chaos A.D./aka Arlsdaddy replied to demhackbardt's topic in GPS technology and devices
One little thing I like with my 76CSx is when you enter a GOTO, the line drawn from your current position to your destination stays with you, as opposed to disappearing off the map when you drive down the road. Both units have great features. A geocaching friend of ours swears by Lowrance and Brunton, but when we compare units, I always like to point out that mine is slightly bigger than his -

Something many people forget is the compass needs to be calibrated EVERYTIME you replace the batteries. Hope that's all it is..... -
