+Team FUBAR Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 I'm looking into purchasing a 60csx but I have one question. Can I load say a topo and a street map on the unit at the same time and tuen them onn anf off one at a time as I choose? I think I saw a post long time ago about the standard 60cs that you could do that. Also how do you all like your x units. Some of the other post have alot of posts badmouthing them, well alot of posts but from the same few people. Billy Quote Link to comment
+Red90 Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 Yes, you can have as many map sets on as you want and easily switch between them. Quote Link to comment
Neo_Geo Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 I love my 60Cx! I won't dance around the issue of bugs - yes, there are a few. Most notably, is the problem with re-acquiring a signal if you've lost your signal. Sometimes you need to turn the unit off and then back on again to get a lock on the sats again. Another one deals with problems with WAAS. Around the time these suckers came out, they started shifting the WAAS satellites around. As a result, the units are just using the WAAS birds for correction data only and will not get a lock on them for positional data, and the users are miffed because the unit thinks its possible error is more than the possible error shown on the older units . To those people, I say, "Phooey!" The new units may say there's more error (EPE) in it's position, but I have found my 60Cx to have MUCH FEWER actual errors in position than my old 60C! This thing is great at maintaining a lock on your position too! Since you're getting the CSx, there seems to be a problem with the barometric altimeter giving astronomically bad readings. That would definitely be annoying for me! CLICK HERE to read more about that. I have all of the confidence in the world that Garmin will iron out the kinks with a future firmware update. As far as I'm concerned, I'm crazy about my 60Cx. Quote Link to comment
-Oz- Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 To switch maps: On the map click menu Go to setup Go to the little I (for info) That lists all the map segments, click menu and then hide whichever map you dont want to see. For example, I hide City Select when i'm off the roads and it shows the Topo. Quote Link to comment
+Sputnik 57 Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 More on loading multiple maps and switching between them (with a screen shot) at questions 7-9 of the Map Section of the FAQ. Quote Link to comment
