Using the Mapping Databases

Many of the GPSMAP 60Cx features require detailed

mapping data to be fully operational, so you may want

to transfer maps before using the unit. The microSD

card (provided only on some units) can be loaded with

detailed maps from optional MapSource

®

disks for your

PC. This enhances the versatility of your GPSMAP

60Cx. With selected MapSource detailed mapping data,

you can view listings of nearby restaurants, lodging,

shopping centers, attractions and entertainment, and

even retrieve addresses and phone numbers for any

listed location. The amount of data transferable is

limited to the capacity printed on the microSD card.
Map data transfer requires the USB interface cable

provided with the unit to transfer MapSource data

from a PC to the microSD card in the GPSMAP 60Cx.

To transfer data to the microSD card, you can also use

the USB Mass Storage feature explained on

page 57

.

You can purchase high capacity microSD cards at

your electronics supplier. See the Garmin Web site

(

www.garmin.com/cartography/

) for MapSource

products.
