+imajeep Posted October 22, 2007 Posted October 22, 2007 We use a Garmin 60 CSx for geocaching, and we use MapSource US Topo 2008 for maps. I'm trying to figure out if City Navigator will help us streamline our geocaching process. Right now, we locate a bunch of geocaches in an area, then my wife creates a route on paper maps to get us to the caches we want to hunt. If we are hunting more than a dozen or so caches, the process of setting up the route on the paper map is a time consuming chore. We'd like to strealine this part of the process, and it occured to us that City Navigator might help. Here are my questions: Can routes be laid out on the PC, the way that they can on US Topo 2008? Ideally, I'd like to import geocache waypoints into City Navigator, then click from point-to-point to lay out a route. Is that doable? I understand that City Navigator is locked to a specific GPSr. If I replace the GPSr, can I unlock CN from that unit and relock it to the new GPSr? If I've got both US topo 2008 and City Navigator, do I have to choose between street navigation and topo navigation on my GPSr, or can I do both at the same time? Thanks for your help! Quote

Only one can be seen at a time. You can switch between maps on the units. Oh and you should buy City Navigator NT 2008. Edited October 22, 2007 by Red90 Quote
