Using Garmin MetroGuide North America Version 8 on a Garmin 60CSX

[+N8OFP - Del]

Has any one tried loading Garmin MetroGuide North America Version 8 on a Garmin 60CSX? A friend purchased Using Garmin MetroGuide North America Version 8 only to find that the 60CSX is not listed on the compatibility list.

 

Thank you!

I have metroguide 3 loaded in my 60cx. Works great. Mine will autoroute though and yours will not.

You can use the Metroguide on your unit, but you will need to use "extra" software to make it routable. Garmin locked off the GPSr unit routability while leaving the option in mapsource. Therefore the information is there, it's just "locked" off. With the "extra" software, you can either bypass the lock or remove it, depending on which options you use.

Where can one find / download the "EXTRA" software??

Go to Geodude. I use MetroGuide 5.0 on my GPSMap 60C. His compatibility list says it will probably work with MG V8. Good luck.

Thanks,

I'll pass it along to my friend. I'll leave it up to them if they want to try it or buy City Nav...
