I have a Garmin Nuvi 360 and have added a 4 GB micro SD card that is in an adapter. I have formatted the card, but when I update maps, the Garmin Nuvi 360 doesn't recognize it and only gives me 49 a state update.

I thought perhaps my adapter slide switch was locking the adapter and preventing a write, but I think that is okay. Does anybody here have any suggestions? Could the micro SD be faulty or corrupted? Could the adapter be the problem? Should I just get a full size SD card? Could it be formatted incorrectly?

Current version: 0.9.This is a guide to save you time on the 60CSX.Before we get to the good stuff, I'd like to point out that in a perfect world you would not be reading this. You would turn on your 60CSX and you'd be able to do all the things you expect to do with a well-designed GPS, such as transfer multiple maps through an intuitive interface.Ahhh. But you're here, so you already know a thing or two about Garmin. Yes, it's an amazing company. On the one hand it makes products that many people love to use for the features that do work.

On the other hand, it makes design choices that waste hours and hours of many people's time, adding up to a cost that might range somewhere in the hundreds of millions. If you've used Mapsource, you know what I'm talking about.And on the hardware side, Garmin is the most stingy consumer electronics company I know.

I think the 500 is limited to a 2Gb map size limit. I don't think Cloning will work. Over 2Gb and it just won't load. Op will have to use MapInstall to install the additional parts of the map to the SD card. 2 maps will then be listed in the menu. BTW, Garmin site said that this.

It chronically skimps on essential features and components. For instance, it leaves obsolete products on the market for years and years and years. As I write, you can still buy the basic. I remember when I upgraded from that unit to the blue Etrex Legend, back in 2005.

At the time you could buy a 256MB USB key for twenty dollars. How much memory did Garmin ship with the Legend? Eight megabytes! And could you transfer maps via USB, the standard already for many years? No, you had to use a Serial port at one tenth of the speed.

If you had the good luck to have a computer still equipped with such an antique port. One word for Garmin: Scrooges.I love the 60CSX.

But I don't love how long it takes to zoom in and out of a map. Would it break Garmin's bottom line to use a chip that can honorably provide this basic function? It would probably bump up the unit cost by something like 94 cents. And why can't we upload maps that have no tile limit, instead of the skimpy 2025 Garmin lets us have?

Hello Garmin, it's not 1978, we can do these things nowadays. And why doesn't the unit let us switch to a different mapset without having us connect to a computer and rename the files on the card? Somewhere at Garmin, an engineer probably wrote that basic firmware upgrade for himself long ago. But you know the rant. It's here less for you than in the hope that someday Garmin will start respecting their customers.It took me many days and nights to understand certain aspects of the 60CSX. Hoping to spare other people that ordeal, in the ebook I share what I gradually learned.

Certain aspects will apply to other Garmin units besides the 60CSX.A Word of Gratitude to the GPS CommunityA collection like this is never the work of a single person. What makes it possible is thousands of people who visit the internet and share their experience on newsgroups and websites such as forums and blogs.The places where I have learned bits of information that made it into this ebook are too many to mention, but many are linked in context in later sections. Nevertheless, two sources stand out for the dedication of their members and for their concentration of 'GPS intelligence': the forum and the.Deep gratitude to everyone who contributes to making the internet such a treasure trove of useful information My own website, A Site About Nothing, proceeds largely from my desire to give back to the internet, from which I take so much, by contributing information on subjects as diverse as the, and the, to name just a few.A Word of Caution. Some of the procedures in this guide may possibly break the licenses granted to you by Garmin and other parties for software, maps and electronic devices.

I don't know. If you follow some of the information presented here, you do so at your own risk.How to Unselect Multiple Map Tiles in MapsourceSo you thought you were in the zoom tool and you've dragged your mouse across your map. But you were in the Tile selection tool, and now your whole map is pink. You try to deselect, but all you can do is click the tiles one by one, all 976 of them!Arrgh, isn't there a faster way?There is! Press 'Ctrl' while you drag across the maps you want to deselect.16GB MicroSD card on the 60CSXYes, since recent upgrades, you can now have large cards in your unit. I have ain my 60CSX.

I am using (see below for a discussion of ). I have that large cards have been working since firmware version 3.20. What changed as of 3.90 is that your map can now be as large as 4GB. However, Garmin still limits you to 2025 map tiles, so you're unlikely to have a map that large. Before attempting a transfer in Mapsource, do yourself a favor and count the number of tiles: look at the bottom left of the screen (the list of selected tiles). It will say something like '944 Map(s) - 670 MB'.Although the card says 16GB, the true capacity is 14.8 GB. That will hold a lot of maps but I am not sure this is the best strategy, because the 60CSX interface does not let you switch directly between map files (see 'Multiple Maps' below).

As long as you have access to a computer, this is not a problem. However, I am starting to think that the most elegant solution might be to carry a collection of smaller cards (256MB to 4GB), each with a single map file (the 'gmapsupp.img' file).A word of caution about fast cards (class 4 and above): Garmin warns against the Sandisk 'Ultra' series. I've read a report that the 60CSX fries these cards. However, I've also read reports from users who use Kingston's class 4 cards without issues. Perhaps Garmin's warning no longer applies since recent card-related firmware upgrades? Would the Sandisk Extreme (class 6) get toasted?

I don't know, but class 2 is fast enough for me, and it's way cheaper. As I understand, the speed benefits of class 4 and above would be felt while transfering files to the unit, not in the unit itself, where the limit is Garmin's chip, which can slow down to a crunch when zooming in and out of large maps.Using Multiple Maps on the Garmin 60CSXSay you have a and a. Can you upload the files separately to the 60CSX and give them different names, as on some Garmin units, such as gmapsupp.img, gmapsup2.img, etc? The answer is no. So does that mean no? Yes, it's a 'no'.

Sorry everyone, the 60CSX can only use one 'img' file at a time. Thank you Garmin. You'd imagine that this would be a simple thing to fix in firmware upgrades. My feeling: it is, they just don't want to do it.But there is good news. Before we get into this, let us state for the record that the one and only active map file that the 60CSX will use is called gmapsupp.img. It is located in the Garmin folder, in the root of the SD card.

Forget about other kinds of files, like 'unl' files, they are for other models.Now the good news. It is that you can store multiple mapsets on the card.1. Upload a mapset to the card via Mapsource.2. As soon as the mapset is transfered, rename the file on the card (Garmingmapsupp.img) to something descriptive, such as 'NewZealand.img'.3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for all the maps you want to load on the card. With a large card, you should be able to store all your maps.4. Rename the map you actually want to use to 'gmapsupp.img'.5.

Whenever you need to switch maps, you just need to rename files. First, rename the current gmapsupp.img that you will no longer be using to something descriptive. Next, rename the file you want to use to gmapsupp.img.How to rename a file? There is no direct way to do so on the GPS unit. Some people remove the SD card, pop it into their cell phone, and rename it from the cell phone interface. A second method is to take out the SD card and plug it straight into your computer. My favorite way to rename the file is to hook-up the GPS to the computer and switch it to USB mode.

Press Menu twice, then select 'Setup', then select 'Interface', then choose 'USB Mass Storage' at the bottom of the screen.The benefit of storing mapsets on the card is that you don't need to use Mapsource again to generate those mapsets. As you know, it can take hours to generate and transfer a large mapset. So once you have a good mapset, rename the file and store it. If your card is too small, you can back it up to your hard drive or to a DVD, and transfer it again when you need it. The fastest way to transfer files is to take the SD card out and pop it into your laptop's card reader.

But if you're not in a rush and prefer not to mess with the card all the time, switch the GPS to USB mode (see instructions above); it should only take about twice as long.The first time you transfer a mapset to the device, do yourself a favor and use Mapsource only. You can try to generate the img files using other software, but more than likely you will waste a lot of time trying to do so. The Mapsource-generated gmapsupp.img file will work. And the great news is that you can take several of these Mapsource-generated files and glue them together into a single large gmapsupp.img file. Read on.How to Combine Multiple MapsHere is the typical problem as it happened to me. I own Australia City Navigator and New Zealand City Navigator.

I wanted to have both at the same time on my unit. After all, aren't Oz and NZ almost the same country?:) All I needed to do was to select both maps in Mapsource and transfer them to the unit as a single mapset, right? That didn't work for me. The maps uploaded to the unit, but I couldn't zoom into the maps.And yet there is a way to do it.

It is a brilliant little piece of software called GMapTool, which you can download from the author's Polish site. Here are the instructions:1.

In Mapsource, upload your first mapset (eg, Australia) to the 60CSX. Copy the gmapsupp.img file to your PC, rename it (eg, australia.img).2. In Mapsource, upload your second mapset (eg, New Zealand) to the 60CSX. Copy the gmapsupp.img file to your PC, rename it (eg, newzealand.img).3. Run GMapTool.exe.

Click 'Add Files'. That may take you a while to navigate to your directory.

(Your best bet might be to put the img files in a folder right below C:, where it will be easy to find. Or, if you are good at navigating the tree structure of your computer, click 'Favorites' then 'Add to Favorites' when you get to your folder. Later, you will be able to navigate to that folder in one click by clicking 'Favorites' again.)Add the two maps (or more) that you want to join. However, make sure that together they do not contain more than 2025 tiles!

(You can check that in Mapsource by selecting the tiles on the original maps.)4. Click 'Join'. Under 'Output File', type in a file name, eg newmap.img. Under 'Mapset Name', you can type a descriptive name. Leave everyting else blank. Click 'Join all'.5. Upload the new img file to your unit.

Rename it gmapsupp.img. It should work!Note that you can use GMapTool for the reverse operation: splitting a gmapsupp.img file into several IMG file, one for each map included in the Mapset.You can also play around with GMapTool to try to join the tiny img files in some of your folders in C:Garmin folder.

It may or may not work. For me, I find that GMapTool works perfectly to glue gmapsupp.img files that were first generated and transfered to my GPS by Mapsource. I've also read that if you ever buy a card preloaded with a map (I'm unsure what the benefits of that would be), you can use GMapTool to.Overlapping MapsYou can use the technique above in GMapTool to create one big gmapsupp.img file with two map files of the same area. Or, if you don't yet have the two maps' image files, you can use Mapsource to create a mapset of the two overlapping maps. When is this useful? I use this for an area where I want to go hiking and have both a topo map for the hike and a routable map for the drive (turn-by-turn directions) such as City Navigator. I also use this when I want to compare two maps, such as Mapsource New Zealand and the of the same area, which may well be superior.

To switch between maps on the 60CSX, go to the Map page. Press Menu, then Setup Map, then press the Right rocker button until you get to the icon with an 'i' in a circle at the top of the screen. On that screen, you can select or unselect maps tile-by-tile, which may not be so useful on a 1000-tile map. Press Menu again, and you will be able to hide or show entire maps from within the mapset (not from other img files on the card, of course, but from from the big gmapsupp.img file you created).How to Install Mapsets on Multiple UnitsThis situation arises in hiking clubs (in Australia they're called bushwalking clubs). Typically, one member is very knowledgable about GPS'es. Other members buy the same maps and the same unit.

They have a hard time installing maps on their units, so they ask the club's GPS wizard. This poor bloke or gal has to sit for hours while Mapsource generates the very same maps that he or she already has! Isn't there a faster way? This assumes that the members are using the exact same version of the map, and that Garmin has already given them the code that unlocks the map for their particular unit.Now what to do? The club's GPS wizard can take his or her img files and substitute the unlock code with the unlock codes of the members who just bought the map.

Again, GMapTool.Open GMapTool. Open the working img file.

Click 'Remove unlock code'. Click 'Add new unlock code' and type in the member's 25-letter code. In 'Output File', give a name for the new map, eg map2.img.

Click 'Join all'. Take the new map and transfer it to the member's 60CSX, renaming the file to gmapsupp.img if it will be used immediately. Remember that the file must be placed in the 'Garmin' folder on the member's SD card.I read on discussion forums that you can download a 'Garmin Unlock Utility' to unlock maps on any unit, but I am a tad too conservative and virus-wary to set foot in that world.

Besides, I already have all the maps I need, many of them high-quality open-source maps, and I didn't mind paying for the few I bought. What is money for?Strange Error Message: Not Enough SpaceWith a custom map that I downloaded ( Desert Tracks), MapSource gave me a strange error message. Apparently, there wasn't enough space on my 8GB card for a tiny 3MB map!

If you use Mapsource, you will see this message regularly:'This mapset is approximately xx MB, but only yy MB is available in the destination. Please select fewer maps and try again.' Typically, xx is very small and yy is very large.

After you get the hang of it, you start to appreciate the humor of Garmin software engineers. So I gave up trying to transfer to the unit. Instead, I asked MapSource to transfer the mapset to a USB key, then I took the img file from the key and copied it to the GPS. It worked fine.

I also tried to ask Mapsource to transfer the mapset to an SD card plugged into the laptop. It worked too. But as the next topic explains, I would not do this with commercial maps.Transferring Commercial Maps Straight to the SD CardWith the exception of free maps (see previous topic), I advise against asking MapSource to transfer maps to USB keys or to SD cards that are plugged into the laptop. Instead, I advise transferring straight to the 60CSX recognized as such by Mapsource ('60CSX'), i.e., not in 'USB Mass Storage' mode. For some maps, transferring straight to the SD card has not worked for me. The map transferred, but once I placed the card in the device, the map did not work. This may be because for some maps, MapSource will not embed the map's unlock code unless it is transferring to the 60CSX.

All Mapsource maps have their quirks, so it may well work for your map. Nevertheless, for me, the potential time saved does not justify the potential time lost. More than half the time of transferring maps from Mapsource has to do with building the mapset: You will have to spend that time regardless of how you move the maps. I also prefer not to unscrew the back of the unit all the time.Fix Mapsource Installation and Registry ProblemIf you install new maps in Mapsource, sooner or later you will have a message like this:'There is a problem with the MapSource registry. Please re-install Mapsource and start again.' You will uninstall, re-install and it will not work.

This happened to me with a 2009 map. After hours trying to fix this (twice!), I am pleased to share the exact sequence that works for me:1. Do a 'System Restore' to the restore point before you installed the map that caused the conflict. (Run rstrui.exe under Start / Run, and read up on 'System Restore' first so you don't wreck your system.)2. You will then need to edit the registry, which can also wreck your system, so if you are not familar with this topic please research how to do this safely.

Remove these three Garmin keys and their subkeys. Reinstall and see if the problem is fixed. If not, there may be some keys leftover. They may perhaps be located with a little tool called.

Run Mapsource Fix. Click 'Check'. Click 'Show Results'. Click 'More Details'. The keys are there.

Hopefully, when you reinstall Mapsource this time, it will work.4. Wish yourself good luck!Point N' Sight is greyed outIf this happens to you, you probably need to calibrate the compass. Lucky you, you'll be dancing in circles.

Press Menu on the compass page, select the option and follow instructions.Navigation: driving directions are too slow!At some stage, and for a few weeks, my unit's navigation's instructions slowed down to a crawl. I had made a huge mapset that contained many maps. It took me a while to find the solution. When I hid all the irrelevant maps (such as the maps of New Zealand and Venezuela, since I was then in Europe), navigation resumed at a brisk pace. Note that the huge mapset is not the problem (I am still using it); rather, how many maps in that mapset are active. See above for how to hide certain maps in a mapset.Navigation: the unit tells me to drive on a trail!When this happened to me, I thought the problem was that navigation was set up for Pedestrians, not Cars & Motorcycles (under Main Menu / Setup / Routing / Follow Road Options / Calculate Routes For). This was not the case.

It took me a while to understand that I had two maps enabled in my mapset: City Navigator and Topo. When I hid the topo map, everything returned to normal. See above for how to hide certain maps in a mapset.Which map datum?When you use the 60CSX with a topo map, you need the GPS data to stick to the map; that means telling the unit what datum to use.

I am looking for a site that lists what datum to use for the standard maps of various countries (please if you know of a good one). In the meantime, I'll list the few I know.Australia: depending on the map, you'll need AGD66, AGD84, GDA94 and WGS84.USA: NAD83 or NAD 27 CONUS for topo maps.France: WGS84 for recent IGN maps. In these three cases, display the position as UTM/UPS coordinates.New Zealand: recent topo maps use the NZTM 2000 projection. On the 60CSX (Menu Menu Setup Units), select 'New Zealand TM' for Position Format and 'WGS 84' for map datum.Indonesia: a reader writes: Two common topo map standards are used in Indonesia.

The first is the one by US AMS (Army Map Service), the map datum is 'Djakarta' and the position format is 'US National Grid'. The second is the one by Bakosurtanal, the map datum is WGS84 andposition format is hddd.mm'ss'.If you ever need to convert between degrees and UTM, try (there is a to a java version for models other than WSG84).Summary of Waypoint FunctionsPressing Mark creates a waypoint at your current location. Pressing Enter (from the Maps page) creates a waypoint at the position of the cursor.

If you have the coordinates of a new waypoint you'd like to create, press Mark and edit the coordinates. Pressing and holding Find creates a 'Man Over Board' navigation to the position that you just left (if you are moving) as you were pressing Find. (Some people use this feature to measure distance.)How to Calculate an Area with the 60CSXDepending on how large an area you want to measure, there are two ways to do this.On the field, for a small area, turn the Tracks log on (Menu / Menu / Tracks / On). Walk a loop, return to the tracks menu, save the track. By selecting a saved track, you can inspect its area anytime.

It shows you the area in acres, hectares, square meters, square feet, square yards or square kilometers.If you want to measure an area that you are not planning to walk, you need Mapsource. If you have created waypoints on the field, you can use them, otherwise you can create some directly in Mapsource—they help but are not absolutely necessary. In Mapsource, use the track draw tool (its icon has a pencil) to create a track.

Click on each waypoint or map point you want to include. When you have made a loop, select any other tool to get out of Track Draw mode. Now click the tracks tab. Pulling the bottom slider to scroll all the way to the right, you will see a column called 'Area' with the number you are looking for. With Edit / Preferences / Units, you can choose to display that number in Acres or another unit if that suits you.

I find that the area in that column does not have as many places after the decimal point as on the unit. So if I want a more precise area, I export the track to the GPS, then check the area in Menu/Menu/Tracks, as explained above.New 60CSX: What tweaks?You just bought your GPS. What are some nice configuration settings?Apart from setting up the map datum, killing the 'beeps' and setting the unit's north to Magnetic, I've made a few tweaks that improve my experience with the unit.Truly Uncluttering the Display.

On some City Navigator maps, the GPS shows you so many pizza parlors and fire hydrants that you can't see the streets. The 60CSX has a 'declutter' option (under Menu on the maps page), but it also removes the names of streets. Can you have the street names without all the clutter? On the Maps page, click Menu. Select 'Setup map'.

Press the left arrow on the rocker until the icon that looks like a flag is selected (this page is called 'Max Zoom'). Navigate down to the first option ('Map Points'). Set it to something like 50 meters, leaving everything else on 'Auto'. See if that works for you.Removing pages to improve the interface. Doesn't it take forever cycling through all the unit's pages before you can get back to the map? Under Menu / Setup, you can remove Pages.

I removed the Menu page because I access it by hitting the Menu button twice from any page. I removed the trip computer because I never use it, and the Altmeter because the Compass page shows me the altitude anyway. This leaves me with the Satellites page (for reception), the Compass and the Map. To remove pages, hit 'Menu' twice, select 'Setup', select 'Page Sequence'.

Highlight a page you want to remove, press 'Entr', chose 'Remove'. You can also change the sequence and add pages you have removed.I've Lost My 60CSX ManualIf you've lost your manual, no problem: Click to as a PDF file.Getting Rid of GlareIf you're ever hiking at high noon on a sunny day, or driving through a desert at lunchtime, you know the meaning of 'glare': it is nearly impossible to read the 60CSX display. On the trail, I usually try to create some shade over the unit and squint at the screen. But if you're riding a motorbike or just cruising down the highway on four wheels, the 'bend over and squint' approach won't do. I received a letter from the creator of a ' that fits the 60CSX. If you love your GPS, for ten bucks, it sounds like a deal. Greg is a pilot.

He had to have something that worked for his Garmin 396, and he adapted it for the 60CSX. I'm on my way back to Australia, and ordering one before heading out to the Outback.:)What Firmware version Are you Running?Hit Menu/Menu, choose Setup, choose System, hit Menu again, choose 'Software Version'. The firmware version is the 'Software Version' at the top.60CSX Firmware Version 4.20In October 2010, someone contacted me with a question about firmware version 4.20. Apparently, his unit had shipped with that version installed. It was mysterious, because the latest firmware on the Garmin website was still version 4.0!The man said that he had written to Garmin to enquire and that they had sent this reply.

Thank you for contacting Garmin International. It is my pleasure to assist you.

Some GPSMap 60CSx devices are not compatible with version 4.20, some, like yours, are. The software page on the website is unfortunately not always updated in a timely manner. The differences between the versions are very subtle, and will in no way affect the operation of the device.60CSX vs 62sNow that Garmin has come out with the 62s, this question is bound to be on many minds I am still madly in love with my 60CSX, but I am curious to hear the reports of people who switch over.Here is what I have read so far.

Since I don't own a 62s, I can't vouch for the accuracy of the information.—I read somewhere that the 62s doesn't feel quite as rugged as the 60CSX. Curious to hear more about that.—Apparently, accuracy is the same, but the 62s is faster at getting a satellite fix.—Also from hearsay, the screen is better and should renders maps faster.I'll update this section when I hear more. In the meantime, I found this useful.Making Your Own MapsI have never made a custom map.

Hi Andy,Discovered your page by accident, it blew me away. Hi Andy, Just found your page and now have a sinking feeling about by my project. I used my 60CSx to record every kilometre of a 25 day 4wd trip in the South Island and also all of our rail trail trip and have all the tracks saved in Mapsource in 7 different saves with about 5 separate files (tracks)in each save. My plan was to join all the tracks together, move them into Google Earth and set it up to show a small cursor moving along the track with photos and short HD movie clips inserted at various places along the way so that I can sit back and relive the trip on my beautiful clear LED TV. I don't know whether I'm thick or not but I cannot figure out whether such a thing is even possible.

My question is (1) can it be done? And (2) do I have to buy the professional version of Google Earth to give me access to extra features.Great to read such a down to earth and realistic view of Garmin's various strengths and shortcomings.John.
