Extracting files from sd card on GPSmap 60csx

[+pickatree]

OK, I added a larger sd card in hopes to add to my poi totals loaded through GSAK. Well, I'm still limited to the amount that fits on the system memory and the card is empty. How do I load files that I can extract in the field?

 

Thanks

You need to use Garmin's POI Loader software and load them as Custom POIs.

 

There's no way to change/increase the number of Waypoints that the unit can hold. That is determined by the firmware.

Plus you need to either:

1. Put the unit in mass storage mode (menu/menu/setup/interface/mass storage) and send the POI's to the drive number of the card.

2. Put the card in a card reader and send the POI's to the drive containing the card.

POIs are very small, and even a very small SD card can hold thousands.

 

I use GSAK and a macro that generates the correct POI format, and then I use the POI Loader to send them to the GPS.
