I'm hoping someone will clarify... Can we download other maps onto the 60CS?

Thanks!

Thanks so much for any and all info

Rapt again, another dumb question. I haven't actually gone on a hunt due to ignorance and time constraints but I have a few days in DC for a wedding and wanted to try with my niece and nephew iin tow. I have a new Garmin 60CS which I have my travel routes loaded. I'd like to load caches from my hotel downtown and caches close to metro stops. I am a premium member and have access to pocket queries although I don't have a pda. Questions: I don't wanna screw up my driving maps and I want to load those types of caches mentioned above. I thought if I went to a City (District of Columbia) search, I could download those files into GSAK or Easy GPS---I'm obtuse or it doesn't work. Please tell me how to set myself up, and the abolute necessary items to take on a city adventure. Again, I don't wanna overwrite my travel maps, but would love to see little treasure chests all over my 60CS while downtown. Help! PS: Leaving in the AM

So OK, I've got city select loaded onto my PC.....I've downloaded cache cordinates into my GPS. Can I upload the cache coordinates back on to the City Select software on my PC?

So Garmin Topo East? I like to cover my bases and want more than just national parks. If its true that I can only download Garmin software into the unit and print, then it's Topo East for Garmin? And thanks for the drive/download info. It's so hard being a newbie.

So, buy the Topo Everything to cover your bases, right? An another question, so what if I go across country, how do I load all the maps required to drive there? Won't that be way too much data?

...So which sofware do you recommend?

Ok. dumba** here, can't figure where to change that. It has like a Auto protect setting and the only thing it will let me change is what file types and they are like Greek.

....Not kidding about the addiction...Geez. Haven't been on a hunt yet except for all the stuff I think I "need" before I go. Having a freaking blast!!

It's me again, Rapt the newbie. Ok, having a few problems with the set-up stuff. I have a new Garmin 60CS and I am fumbling thru its setup. When I bought the unit, I also purchased the Auto Navigation Kit which included the City Select software--- unit also came with a basemap. My question is this, Do I need topo software also? I live 10 min away from the Blue Ridge Mountains and wanted to do some hiking type caches as well as the more suburban/urban ones. If I need this, what should I buy---price isn't really an issue, just want what I want, when I need it. I understand some of the software is just National Parks and Forests---That's cool but I don't want to be just limited to that. Any other tips would be appreciated also and by the way, I already feel as if I found my first "treasure" when I discovered this sport.

Hi, new to caching, and am having a heck of a time downloading and running GSAK. I have a 6 month old Dell 8400, lots of disc space etc, and have disabled my Norton Internet Security for the downlaod and install. Everything keeps locking up!!!! Everytime I click on GSAK it locks up, when I try to take it of the system, I can't get rid of it!! Please help!

Hi, I'm a newbie to caching, but do a little hiking also. I have very high arches and am looking for a high quality gore-tex boot, not too heavy, but with good ankle support. Would consider a 8in boot also but I'm not sure if Danner sells the Eagle in women's sizes. Can someone help? Price isn't a problem as long as its quality and doesn't wear out in a year. Leigh
