Route data transfer - Garmin 60csx to Nuvi

[+Seal Rock George]

Has anyone successfully been able to transfer route and waypoint data created using a Garmin 60csx to a Garmin Nuvi? If so, what application or software have you used? And steps?

Garmin's Mapsource program will do it, as long as the 60CSx allows you to upload routes to the PC. You would just connect your 60CSx to the PC and use Mapsource to transfer the route from the device, then connect the Nuvi and use Mapsource to transfer the route to the device.

Assuming you have a Nuvi that does routes. Not all Nuvis do routes.

Which NUVIS do routes??

The better question is, "Which Nuvis don't do routes?"

 

Near as I can tell they all do routes. What good is an auto nav device that won't give you directions to where you want to go?

 

If we're talking about multipoint routing (sorts multiple destinations to determine an efficient route for deliveries and sales calls), then you are down to the 7xx series, the 8xx series, the 5000 and the 7200.

 

Or perhaps we're talking about which Nuvis will allow for the transfer of externally created routes to them, either via USB to the internal memory or on a memory card. That could be a tougher question to answer because I'm not sure what Garmin calls that feature or even if it's a feature they list in their online product specs.

Perhaps Red90 was refering to Saved Routes. If a unit won't let you save routes and doesn't have the ability to use a saved route, then transfering routes to it would be a waste of time, even if you could do it.

 

In that case, the 2xx models (including 2x5s) do not allow for any Saved Routes. All the rest of the Nuvis do, although most of them don't allow for very many.

Only the nuvi 7xx, 8xx (and maybe 5xx) have the ability to store routes.

 

None of the other nuvis do.

[+Redwoods Mtn Biker]

The 5xx does.

I can not get the Nuvi 650 to transfer routes

Ummmm, read up a couple of posts....

I should add that the 5000 does routes as well.
