+GoBlue! Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 Recently received a Garmin 60CSx, and bought City Navigator v8 along with it. Love the thing. Anyway, the Garmin came with a Trip & Waypoint Manager v3.00 CD -- any need to install this in addition to City Navigator? Not sure what it is & don't want to copy over what I've already installed by accident. Thanks, Jim Quote Link to comment
+Red90 Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 It is the same software. Both are "Mapsource". Quote Link to comment

It allows you work with, and to upload and download waypoints, routes, and tracks. That's all. You don't need the Trip & Waypoint Manager if you already have Mapsource working with your CN8. Updating may just give you a newer or older Mapsource version. Your maps won't be affected by the version of Mapsource you load. You select which map set to show and use separately via an option box in Mapsource. Go to Garmin and update your Mapsource software any time you want. It's free and worth updating from time to time. They added some nice track editing features recently. There's a "Check for sofware update" button under the Help Menu that updates automatically.
