I have a 60CS and I am still using City Select V6. It still gets me where I'm going....

Thanks - trying to find out if I can add maps to my Garmin GPSmap 60...

Just purchased ours about 3 wks ago. Since we'll mainly use it for the desert, we'll probably get the US Topo. The compatibility info for the maps on the Garmin website was confusing, so I contacted Garmin & the US Topo is compatible with the GPSMap60. Margie

Thanks - I thought it was me! The Garmin website is a little confusing as to the compatibility of the mapping software. They are probably swamped with everyone who received a GPS for Christmas right now.

Here is a link to Garmin page for this product. GPSmap 60

 

Second bullet in the features states:

 

Faster processor, with auto routing, turn-by-turn directions, and audio alerts along city streets or trails when using MapSource® City Select® or 24K Topo software (optional software)

 

 

To the right is a pull down for all of Garmin's map software.

Thanks - but - I saw that and took note of the "*" which stated that represented a limitation to this unit. So - back to my question...can this unit handle those software upgrades?

 

When I did go to those pull down pages - some of them stated that certain units cannot handle an upgrade.

[+Roland_oso]

GPSmap 60 accseories page indicates all the listed mapping software is compatible with your unit.

 

If you select other units the "*" pops up for those that have limitations with that software.

 

It looks like your unit is compatible with all of the mapping software Garmin has to offer.

[+Roland_oso]

I f you look at the Basic Legend you will see the "*" denoteing the software that has limitations for that unit.

Thank you - I appreciate your help and patience. I am not too impressed with the Garmin webpage - as I see others have mentioned this too.

 

Now to figure out the difference between City Select and City Navigator. Any clue?

If I'm correct the software changed names from City Select V7 to City Navigator V8, which would mean newer updated maps in City Nav.

 

Someone else may chime in as I also think the size of Map segments changed from V7 to V8.

For my wanderings in the wilderness I use Garmin's United States Topo in my GPSr and map printouts from Delorme Topo USA.

City Select has been discontinued. City Navigator is the street mapping software which provides autorouting data to your unit.
