MAP60CSx and pointer screen


Recommended Posts

I just upgraded from a Garmin MAP60C to a MAP60CSx to get the use of the SD card but there is a strange quirk I can't seem to get around. With the MAP60C when I was seeking a geocache (not a waymark) and I said off road, it would instantly switch to the compass pointer screen. It I was looking for a waymark off road it would switch to the map screen and show a straight line to the location. With the MAP60CSx when I search for a geocache or a waymark they both switch to the map mode and show a line to the location.

 

How can I get the 60CSx to act like the 60C did for geocaches?????

No way around it. I just came up against it with my 76CSx.

Is it something with the fact the CSx has the dynamic compass and the C only had the GPSr pointer?

No, my previous GPS was a 76CS and it went directly to the pointer screen. This issue with the 60/76CSx going to the map page was discussed at length when they first came out.

So in other words it's just the way it is, people don't agree with it but Garmin doesn't see the need to change it "back" to something that was actually better.... :anibad:

I prefer to use the map screen instead of the compass screen, so I hadn't noticed this.

 

My husband prefers to use the compass screen, so he makes sure the compass screen is the next one after the map screen and pushes the "page" button once to go to the compass screen.
