+AF Bmet Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 I can'y find this anywhere and seemed like a newby question. What is the largest microSD card that the GPSMAP 60 or 76 CSX can use? Quote Link to comment
Neos2 Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Garmin's website says largest card to be used is 2GB: Q. What is the largest size microSD card that I can use in my X-series GPS unit? A. At this time, the 2 GB cards are the largest microSD cards that can be used for the X-series GPS units. However, the X-series GPS units are not compatible with the San Disk Ultra II cards and we do not recommend using the Ultra II micro SD cards with any of the X units. Quote Link to comment
+AF Bmet Posted June 19, 2008 Author Share Posted June 19, 2008 Thanks. I thought that's what I had read but when I went back to try and verify that I could not find it anywhere. Quote Link to comment

gallet Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Apparently you can use a 4GB card and the Cx will be able to use the other 2GB to save logs. Quote Link to comment
+AF Bmet Posted June 19, 2008 Author Share Posted June 19, 2008 Apparently you can use a 4GB card and the Cx will be able to use the other 2GB to save logs. Do you have to format the 4GB card any way special in order to do this? Quote Link to comment
roybassist Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Do you have to format the 4GB card any way special in order to do this? You shouldn't have to. The 4 GB card in my 76CSx is formatted FAT32, and it works. A usually reliable source says for cards <= 2 GB use FAT, for cards > 2 GB use FAT32. Quote Link to comment
bmirak Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 (edited) I have a 60csx running firmware version 3.60. I've got a SanDisk 4gb microsdhc card installed and working perfectly. No formatting required. I've got about 500mb of City Navigator and Topo 24k maps installed and working, and I'm recording and downloading .gpx track data from the card with no problems. According to other posts, even though a 4gb card "works," it is not fully functional. The 60csx won't display maps (not even partially) if you install more than 2gb or 2025 segment of map data on the card. But, the remaining 2gb can still be used in other ways. It can store additional .gpx data if you are logging tracks to the card, and you can always upload any type of files you want (pictures, music, whatever) to the card in mass storage mode (of course, the device can't read them). I cannot confirm the map storage limitation because I have not tried to exceed the limits, but it has been confirmed by other posters. I wonder why these limitations would exist?
