Thanks. Think I’ll stick with 1 GB.

What is the maximum memory that can be used in a Garmin 60CSx? The manual has no information on this. I came across a FAQ page after intensive searching on Garmin’s web page and it mentioned 1 GB max but I wasn’t sure if it was referring to my unit specifically or some other model.

If you upload a saved track to MapSource and click GoogleEarth within MapSource you get your track with tracklog (breadcrumb) data displayed. I’ve used it to locate the exact parking place I used at work, the store, etc. showing the route, heading, altitude, speed, etc. for each tracklog point. Pretty slick.

Got the $50 rebate check today! It was cut on 1/23/07 and in my hands 4 days later! The Garmin rep said 10- 15 days (~ 2/7), well they did it in 4 days. I am happy camper once again and am pleased with how quickly Garmin responded and handled the situation.

The happy ending – after much contacting and correspondence Garmin has persuaded the rebate group to issue the rebate. That’s terrific. This situation should not have been an exercise in frustration and teeth pulling yet it was. The rebate people must count on folks not following up or raising H when they muck around with the rebate. For the record I mailed in (and photocopied) –the completed rebate form, - included the original UPC barcode cut off the box. My box only had 1 (one) UPC code, so with that one mailed in and out of my hands I am SOL without it as photocopies of the UPC code are not accepted. Lastly, I included the original receipt with the 60CSx the only item. ALL requirements for the rebate were met and fulfilled as instructed on the rebate form. This should have been processed without incident or fuss.

I have received a card informing me of the wonderfully delightful news that I have been denied my $50 rebate because, according to the wonderful folks at Garmin, the UPC is “invalid” BS! I mailed in EVERYTHING as requested and required! I.e. the completed rebate coupon, the original UPC bar code cut from the product box, along with the original dated and itemized receipt. I still have the box that the GPSMAP 60CSx came in and have saved everything – except of course the 60CSx’s UPC code – which was cut off the product box. The $50 rebate was the reason I decided to go ahead and buy the Garmin 60CSx unit. I am currently in the process of trying to get a hold of anyone at www.rebatestatus.com, Garmin and elsewhere who can help me with this rebate offer scam. Needless to say I am not a happy camper (putting it exceptionally mildly) and should Garmin fail to fulfill its rebate obligation with this customer the 60CSx will be the last thing from Garmin that I ever buy from this wonderful outfit!

Just got the Garmin 60CSx and am very happy with it. Have had no problems with the compass, barometer, etc. which were “must haves” for me. The key could be proper calibration. I’ve got the StreetPilot III for the car, Turn by turn voice directions are great, and the 60CSx for exercise, walking around – portability and battery life that the StreetPilot III doesn’t have. I’ve been using this thing for hours, backlight always on, and still on the first 2 AA alkalines and have yet to see the battery bar graph move. It’s all black and at first I thought the battery was dead but swapping in 2 new ones showed that they were fully charged.
