Gpsmap Base Map

[+liz-n-mike]

When my GPSMAP60C arrived from the states (into the UK) it had been loaded with a decent base map and UK detail (possibly Roads and Recreation). In my playing around I attempted to load a new map and wiped out all of this pre-loaded stuff! I have now bought Europe City Navigator v6 and can quite happily load from that. My question is this :- can I somehow load the "base map" that comes with the CDs, the one seen on the PC before I start selecting regions? It would be much better than the "base" to which my unit has reverted, a very crude world map which starts to show the region rectangles and only at a certain zoom does any detail appear.

nope

The Basemap that comes with Garmins are permanent, except the Marine navaids are wiped out when you load mapsource maps into the GPS, but those are replacable by downloading the marine navaids for the 60C from the Garmin website.

There's a POI database reload available on the same page as the firmware patch if that will help.

Just a guess, but check it out.
