Garmin gpsmap 60csx HELP
Hi everybody,
I have purchased (secondhand) the above device and cannot get it to work with the microSD card installed!
It works perfectly without it but as soon as it's installed (with City Navigator on it) the device freezes/locks and I can't do anything with it.
Any ideas gratefully received.
Cheers
Pete

i have the same unit but have never had this problem - are you sure you are installing the microSD card correctly? there is a little metal arm that you are supposed to slide over it to lock it into place... also note that not all garmin maps are compatible with all garmin gps units so its possible that your version of City Navigator is incompatible (garmin usually has to versions of each map, one labeled as "NT" and the other one not, and only one of these will work with most units)
or maybe your unit is just broken (hope not!)

Gps
Hi I had a similar problem with a different units card once.
I bought a top notch sd card to load some new maps on but it just wouldn't have it.
I ended up buying a middle of the road card, copying everything over to that and it worked!
might be worth a try!
Dave.

Hey Pete,
every garmin device (so also your 60 csx) you have to get together with maps in garmin.com.
So until you do not have connected your device with this map it wont work.
You can have a look on Garmin | Follow the leader - mygarmin.
Normally you buy a map for a special device and then you get a code.
With best regards
Blitz

Blitz, the 60csx has a built-in basemap, so it will "work" even with no other maps installed.
