Maps To Store In A Garmin 60cs

Recommended Posts

A friend of mine wants to travel to Australia with a 60 CS.

As I know there is a 56 MB data memory for maps in the GPS receiver.

Is this enough to store a complete map of Australia? What are your experience? What map would you recommend? He is not a geocacher but wants to know where he is and wants to see the track when he will be back in Germany.

 

Thanks for help.

Most new GPSrs have more than adequate memory these days due to the fact map data is in a vector format......

 

The GPSMAP60 C/S has 54mb from memory......Metroguide Australia takes up ~44mb, for the whole of Australia  ....... I have also Bluecharts (marine charts) for Townsville to below Rockhampton which only takes up 4 mb.....

 

If you want to look at the quality of the Metroguide Australia, take a look at http://www.garmin.com/cartography/ and select the MA from the Mapsource Map Viewer area.......

 

BTW there is also City Navigator for sydney, melboune etc however i haven't played with them

 

Hope this helps
