GPSMap60CSx and City Navigator NT 8

[+roadrage64]

Just received City Navigator NT 8 today and installed the entire continental US on my 1gb card. I was out for a drive and checking out the autorouting when all of a sudden I had nothing but the basemap. I pushed the find button and the icons for the different points of interest were gone (ie: food, lodging, gas, etc...) I turned the unit off, and then back on and they were back. I've been using the same memory card for quite some time now and didn't have any problems when I had Metro Guide maps on it. I also checked to make sure the card was seated properly since I had it out earlier in the day but it seemed to be seated properly. Don't know if it was just a fluke or what, but I was wondering if anybody else has had a similar experience with the 60csx and City Navigator 8. Thanks

I had a similar experience with my 76 CSx and the Topo! maps. It happened just once very shortly after loading them and hasn't happened since. I wondered if it was related to the latest firmware update (3.20), but it hasn't happened again. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

That happend to me also, but I didn't realize it right away. We were on Spring break and couldn't understand why the GPS was giving us so terrible directions when auto-routing. It turns out it was auto-routing using the built-in basemap, not City Navigator NT 8. I ended up in someones backyard! I fixed the problem by reloading the CN NT 8 maps.

Same thing happened today with my 60CSx and MetroGuide NA v7. I was stopped on a road, zoomed in and was panning the map to follow a dirt road and the road just disappeared. I zoomed out and just the base map was there. I went to map setup and it just showed the base map installed. Turned the GPS off and back on and everything was fine. Running latest v3.20 unit software.

It might be that your microSD card got disconnected. try taking it out and putting it back in.
