stu k1100lt Posted January 1, 2007 Share Posted January 1, 2007 I just bought a new map 60csx and was wondering if it is going to work with my existing City Select version 7 that I have been using with my older GPS V? Or, it that software somehow wed to my older unit? I plan on selling the V unit and keep the software for my new unit (if it will work) Also started with version 6.0 and Garmin was nice enough to send me version 7 for free. Will they also let me upgrade to version 8 at no cost? Will all of city select fit on a 1 gig sd card or do I need a 2 gig one? Thanks... Quote Link to comment
+El Diablo Posted January 1, 2007 Share Posted January 1, 2007 Version 7 will work just fine. I'm not sure if all the maps will fit on a 1 gig card, but it will be close. El Diablo Quote Link to comment

Neo_Geo Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 You should have 2 unlocks with your City Select, so you can use the 2nd one for your new unit. It should work, but there is a bug in searching for cities in older map versions with firmware version 2.90. Perhaps Garmin was not sending route calculation data with the older maps... I dunno... Click the following link to read thread about that: Serious Bug That Makes The 60csx Useless For Road Nav!, can't enter an address on 2.90 FW!! Pay particularly close attention to Post #43 in that thread! Someone else using older maps just posted a message about another problem they're having, but it's not confirmed if it's a problem because of older version, but I suspect that it is.

I understood this problem to be with CN not necessarily CS? I use City Select V4 (circa 2001) that came bundled with my GPS V on my 60CSx with all the latest firmware updates and have experienced no problems (other than the confusion of new or revised roads since 2001 ...). The simple answer to your questions is, yes, your CS maps will work with your 60CSx, but you may experience some bugs depending on what you do with it. I travel on business all over the country and always carry my 60. I have had little trouble with my old maps, so I have never had the **need** to upgrade the maps. "Someday" will come. Call me stingy, just don't call me cheap. Quote Link to comment
