The 60Cx (and 60CSx) will take a 2 G byte card .. but it is cheaper here to have the 1 G byte cards - $ per byte is better..
It ONLY takes the micro SD cards .. neither the standard SD nor the mini SD cards - different physical sizes.
On the GPS you can select what maps are 'active' - so you can view the ones you want .. bit tedious .. but the auto selection is based on the data stored on the maps .. and my not be what you want then and there so the GPS selection is what you need on the road.
--------------
Garmin maps ..
The 'world map' covers the world .. the base map on the GPS will cover the country where it was bought .. not the world. The 'world map' looks to be VMAP0 data - freely available but tedious to download and convert to garmin format.
African maps - do a google on Tracks 4 Africa..
You'll also find Tracks 4 Australia
and
http://mapcenter.cgpsmapper.com/catalogue.php
has a few maps too.
Very few of the free maps allow routing .. and I'd question the accuracy of the maps too .. as they are mostly from free sources that can be old .. and used old technology ... so auto routing on that old stuff may not be useful. For instance the India map looks like it may be 2 km out in some places I've looked at .. but it my be my other source is out by 2 km .. hard to tell.
I keep my continents on different cards .. as you change continents change cards ..
