+zeke1975 Posted January 1, 2007 Share Posted January 1, 2007 I'm thinking of buying a Venture Cx. I've got an old copy of US Topo that I've used with an etrex Legend. It didn't need any unlock codes or anything. Will this older software work with a Venture Cx or will I have to buy a new version with unlock codes? Quote Link to comment

Your old copy should be fine; they've never updated it. Quote Link to comment
Neo_Geo Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 Yep! They'll work. I use 'em on my 60Cx. Quote Link to comment
+zeke1975 Posted January 2, 2007 Author Share Posted January 2, 2007 Great! That's what I was hoping! Thanks guys! Quote Link to comment
vermontcathy Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 I've heard that the old version expects to only communicate via the serial port, so it can't communicate with the newer models that use USB. Is this true, or bogus? I'm referring to MapSource US Topo maps. Quote Link to comment
+Sputnik 57 Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 MapSource talks to the GPSr. It loads the map Topo (or other) map data. You can upgrade MapSource for free from Garmin's site. Make sure you have the latest version of MapSource and you'll be fine. Quote Link to comment
+zeke1975 Posted January 11, 2007 Author Share Posted January 11, 2007 I ended up getting a 76Cx instead of the Venture Cx. Topo loaded on it no problem! Thanks guys! Quote Link to comment
