Etrex Legend Cx

[+Lee-2]

For Mothers Day my family bought me the eTrex Legend CX.

My question is how do I remove the maps I install in the unit?

I use MapSource- MetroGuide?

Thanks,

When you send a new Mapset to the unit, the other mapset is removed . . . at least that is the way it works with the non-'x' eTrex GPSrs.

Or plop the card into a card reader, and delete the files you find on it.

when you start loading a map from mapsource it deletes the previous map, i know on my legend it takes about 16 min to load the new map, just abort the new map loading screen and there are no maps on the device. i have to load 2 different area's on mine as yellowstone national park and island park, where i play alot, are in the billings montana region whereas idaho falls, where i live, is in the salt lake region, kind of annoying that i can't snip parts out and make my own areas

 

hope that helps

If you have a card reader, taking the card out and using the reader to load the maps will make it go much faster (assuming you have usb 2.0)....

Thanks for the help.

 

I'll have to buy a micro sd card reader.

Why would you want to delete maps? When you load new ones they just overwrite what you previously installed.

I wonder if the legend CX will eventually get the new feature, "USB mass storage mode", that is currently in a beta firmware release for the 60CX(CSX) units. It essentially turns your unit into a card reader/writer and you can do anything that you would normally need a USB card reader to do.

It is handy for swapping already created mapset files (and POI files) in and out of your unit in a matter of seconds if your card is too small to accomodate all the areas that you travel in. It also eliminates the wear and tear of moving that teeny, fragile card in and out so often.
