I don't know what the base map is like for the US, but on longer journeys I pick and choose which maps to load and rely on the base map for the bits in between. For eg one of my trips is from Poole in Dorset (South coast of the UK) up to Scotland so a couple of maps for the Poole area especially around the docks. Then All of Scotland and maybe the Lakes if I'm stopping off, other than that the base map covers the A roads and motorways just fine. I am very pleased with my 60C and use it on road, off road and with blue water charts on the boat. Now all I need is topo maps for the UK & europe and it would be perfect I've seen how good the bluewater charts are and I want that for my walking. Regards Steve D

I used a Serial cable and set the anquet software to "Unit not listed" then set the values by hand - its pretty simple. The routes etc seemed to download OK but I haven't tried them in the wild. As a test I then moved the routes off the GPS onto Mapsource and they matched the roads etc fine. Steve D
