60CSx Problem With Memory

[+Alan Ellis]

Today, I tried to load a Mapsource Topo map or two onto my 60CSx and got this error message:

 

"The required memory for storing maps is missing from your GPS. If your GPS uses a programmable data card, check to make sure it is inserted properly."

 

My data card sub-menu shows: 0% Full, Maps 0.00 mb, and interestingly..Free Space 0.00 mb.

 

I've never had a problem loading maps until now. Think is is memory card problem?

 

Any thoughts or solutions? Thanks for the help.

Sounds like you have a bad data card.

Try putting it into mass storage mode ,if it shows up in My computer and right click to check the properties..then in widows explorer try sending a small text file to it to see if it works.

You might try removing the card and re-inserting it to make sure it is seated properly.

That was exactly the problem. It was actually a blessing in disguise because I replaced the 128 mb with a 2 gb for on $14.99 at Radio Shack. Works perfect now. Thanks for all the responses.
