Map Data
Garmin MapSource
CD-ROM’s offer a variety of detailed mapping
data and
navigation information.
MapSource is also an excellent medium
for storage and safety backup of Personal
Waypoints, Routes and Saved Tracks.
See your Garmin Dealer or visit the
Garmin web site at www.garmin.com
for information on which maps work with the
GPSmap 60.

Transferring MapSource Map Data
If you have purchased a Garmin MapSource CD-ROM mapping
program you may want to transfer detailed map data before beginning use
to provide your unit with maximum Find features and mapping capability.
The GPSmap 60 accepts up to 56 MB of map data from most MapSource
products. It is not possible to transfer 3rd party maps into Garmin products.
You cannot view multiple types of MapSource data in the same loca-
tion at the same time (one will draw over the other). When you leave a
MetroGuide area for example and enter the area of a topographic map,
the display will change to contour lines. The same is true when moving
from a topo map to a MetroGuide map.
Maps that are at the top of the hierarchy and will replace any other map
information. Because new maps are constantly being released, consult your
Garmin Dealer or the Garmin website to determine the order of hierarchy.
Map data transfer requires the use of a PC, a Garmin MapSource CD-
ROM, and the Universal Service Bus (USB) cable supplied with this unit.
Follow detailed instructions for data transfer in the MapSource User’s
Manual. Note that downloading maps will overwrite any maps already
downloaded to the unit. This includes the Marine Points of Interest data-
base provided with the GPSmap 60.
It is also important to note that certain features contained in the
GPSmap 60 will not be enabled unless you are using mapping data they
are designed to support, such as many of the Find Features and DEM Ele-
vation Profiles that require detailed MapSource maps. Visit the Garmin
website for details on all of the maps you can use with the GPSmap 60.
