Garmin 60cxs

[+sabana]

Hi all. Been several years but I'm back. I have a Garmin 60csx GPS. But I want to use the GB Discoverer 50K micro SD card. I have looked on their site and the 60csx is not listed as compatible. But this might be because it is discontinued. Does anyone know if it is compatible and have used it on this device. If its not is there a similar quality map better than the topo v2 one?

 

Many thanks

Before this post scrolls down and off the page for lack of any other answers, I'll add what little I know:

 

Garmin maps are pretty much interchangeable - any map designed for Garmin units should work on *any* Garmin unit. An older unit like the 60CSx won't be able to display newer features like DEM shading, but it'll just ignore 'em and work with the features it was designed for.

 

I've never heard of a Garmin-format map being incompatible with the 60CSx. This is the unit I use, and I'm a cartophile who collects maps from all over.

 

You might want to fire off an email to the maker of those maps, just to be sure.

I don't own any, but the GB Discoverer maps look like they combine vector maps with raster graphics. If that's the case, Oregons and later GPSrs would be the only ones that support them.

Not compatible with the GPSMAP 60SCx, sorry.
