Hey thanks guys worked great. Yes what had happened is when I connected it with the Mapsoftware that loaded the city navigator stuff to my 60csx it allowed me to load then on... So I thought, honest mistake as I was not trying to get it for free... Bought the new city Nav as well as the back roads, lakes, and topo but hadn't really thought it out that well as the backroad maps are far superior for hiking and geocaching, the topo are only ok and I have a gps in my car... But I may use the city when traveling... Anyway works fine now thanks.

Hey, Ya for sure I have one for the world wide basemap. Are you sure? ... . I thought that it was just the generic basemap for the unit and not the topo version. I will give it a try as I have something else I would like there anyway... Backed up first of course. Cheers

Hey there folks, I am sort of assuming that I am missing something but everytime I boot up the 650 I get the "Cant Unlock Maps" message. I have tried a hard reset with no SD cards in the unit at all but I still get this message... any ideas? Cheers

I have had the 60csx since it came out, so maybe 5-6 years I guess, and have loved it. As a techy person I could not find a reason to upgrade to a new unit. Even the 62 and its varients to me was not worth the money. One of the things I liked the most about it was its ability to lock on to Sat signals pretty much anywhere.... I started to look at the Montana 650 out of luck shall we say after a conversation with a friend, and it took me about two days to go out and buy one. I have not extensively field tested it yet but... It holds its position very well and does not wander as much as my 60 used to. And it still has enough sensitivity in the antenae that it locks on well. I mean well. I have been playing with it in my office sitting about 15ft from the walls and 10 or so from the ceiling.... and it locked on great, from my desk without a clear view of the sky initially. Awesome. Love the ability to use custom maps. Now as far as the other posters, yes it comes down to your preference. Buttons or screen for the UI, and then for me as well the additional realestate that you get with the larger screen.

As you have found it is normal. Dont think anyone mentioned it but... when you were in the aircraft.... 31000ft was the GPS and Aircraft altitude where as the 8000ft was the "cabin altitude" pressurized.
