Topo maps for garmin gps 60csx

[+di75duo]

We are interested in getting more detail maps for our 60csx but not sure how that works. I understand that the 60csx has no internal memory. If I buy a topo card how do I use it and download up to 1000 caches? Just not sure I understand how this works. Has anyone purchased maps for their 60csx?

Before you purchase maps, you might try these free ones.

You might find that suit your needs.

 

To answer your specific questions, the 60CSx has no internal memory for MAPS. So yes, the MAPS would have loaded on to an external card.

 

You can either purchase a preloaded map card or purchase a DVD of the maps and install the maps to the card from your computer.

 

If you purchase a preloaded card, you cannot put any other data on that card.

 

If you load the maps from the DVD, you can put other data on the card.

 

In EITHER situation, the GPS unit DOES HAVE internal memory for the 1000 caches. And the Waypoints/Geocaches cannot be stored on the external card.

 

Custom POIs, however, CAN be loaded to the card.

The 60CSX comes with a 64MB microSD card pre-installed.
