qsteven1 Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 guys, Just bought a 60csx from the US and am currently living in Manila Philippines. I have the Worldmap mapsource and was able to load a roadmap of my country, but its quite outdated. I was able to source a more detailed and updated third party map and was able to load it to the unit , but it erased the previously loaded mapsource map. Is there a way to load both either thru the device or thru the memory card now that the card can be accessed like a drive. BTW I used Sendmap by cgpsmapper to load the third party map Steven Quote Link to comment
+myotis Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 Look at http://home.cinci.rr.com/creek/garmin.htm Near the bottom it tells you how to add maps to Mapsource with GPSmapper (freeware). I use it for all the maps I have created and it works like a charm. Then you have both maps in Mapsource so you can upload them all to the GPS Quote Link to comment
+arpegio Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 Has anyone created custom maps of this type that they can share with others? This is one thing I haven't found but would expect... like .gpx files of waypoints of interest for different areas or user-created maps that can be shared... any source for stuff like this?

+DustyWalker Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 You have to load both sets of maps into your unit at the same time. If you don't, the previous map set is erased. Quote Link to comment

If you use the process from: http://home.cinci.rr.com/creek/garmin.htm it is pretty easy to make high quality TOPO maps. I've got my area mapped and hope others will do the same for their area.

qsteven1 Posted July 19, 2006 Author Share Posted July 19, 2006 thanks for all the info , I am using the worldmap , is it possible to upload just portions of it , as it wont fit the 64mb card anyways . Can I use sendmap to loap portions of the worldmap and a third party map so I can keep both maps in the handheld unit Quote Link to comment
