Garmin 60CSx - Map Sets

[+starbox189]

I just bought a new 4 GB micro SD card for my 60CSx. I'm running the latest firmware. Is the maximum number of up-loadable map segments still 2025 or can it accept more?

That's the maximum number of map segments. And I believe that there is still a 2GB file size limit for that unit, as well. (Might have been raised to 4GB with a firmware update.)

 

You can only have one mapset loaded at a time, however.

I believe the latest firmware update increased the size of the file to 4 GB, but not all the micro SD cards will work at the 4 GB. the segments are still restricted to the 2025, but with the newer software the segments are larger so this is not as much of a problem. I believe you can now easily load the entire us City Navigator and still have room for some topo maps.

Current firmware is supposed to support 4Gb memory cards, however, still 2025 map segments (CO, OR & DK units are 4000+ segments). All user map data must be in one gmapsupp.img file. This file can have data from many mapsets, but must be built at one time and must be rebuilt to add or delete any quads/tiles.

Fixed!

You can't create file larger than 4Gb on a FAT or FAT32 formated card.

It's the file size limit and no firmware can fix that limit (due to file system).

 

The 60csx support SD and SDHC cards.

SD 1Mb -> 4Gb

SDHC 4Gb -> 32Gb
