+Klatch Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 4.20 I think that 4.00 is the latest for early versions using the SirF chip. Quote Link to comment
+chuck4564 Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 I would like to know if a 4GB SDHC Micro card would work in my Garmin 60csx GPS I am currently using an 8GB micro SDHC in my Garmin GPSmap 60CSx without any problems so I imagine a 4GB version would also work fine. For my 5 yr old unit the latest firmware version is 4.0. Newer 60CSx units are compatible with the 4.20 version of firmware. Quote Link to comment

Thank you all....I have an older model also & it has 4.0 right now so I guess I am up to date....Again Thanks for all your responses Quote Link to comment

Best way to take the guessing out of the equation is to run Garmin's WebUpdater and it will make sure you have the most recent release. Quote Link to comment

Are you sure the unit isn't only seeing the first half of the card? Quote Link to comment

Are you sure the unit isn't only seeing the first half of the card? 4GB is the maximum size for vector maps. The balance can be used for Birdseye or KMZ raster maps. Of course if you are using 8GB in a 60CSX, only 4GB will work at one time. https://support.garmin.com/support/searchSupport/case.faces?caseId={9dec4ad0-954a-11dd-f60b-000000000000} spells it out.

And to be clear this only applies to "Garmin Mode" devices. All newer handhelds since the Colorado do not have limits on card or map sizes beyond the 4 GB per file set by the FAT32 file system.

Are you sure the unit isn't only seeing the first half of the card? Currently on my 8GB microSD: A gmapsupp with 1527 segments, 2.97GB, 20+ different mapsets POI file with 145k points of interest, 15MB ~3GB of other stuff that I wouldn't expect the 60CSx to read 2GB free I haven't ever run into a case where the map I wanted to use wasn't available on the 60CSx. Perhaps as long as the gmapsupp.img file is less than 4GB there isn't an issue. I have tried to put more than 2025 tiles onto a card and had issues. I can't recall if MapSource complained or maps didn't display properly. Similarly, I have selected more than 4GB of maps and MapSource complained. I have also had MapSource crash after selecting a large number of maps. Quote Link to comment
+Red90 Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 ...Perhaps as long as the gmapsupp.img file is less than 4GB there isn't an issue.... It is impossible for it to be larger than 4 GB....http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_Allocation_Table#FAT32 The maximum possible size for a file on a FAT32 volume is 4 GB minus 1 byte or 4,294,967,295 (232−1) bytes.
