Garmin 60csx .vs 62s

These track specs posted on the web are spot on since they address tracks that are logged within the unit.

62
 



60csx

The garmin 62/78 will hold 10,000 trackpoints per track. That alone is worth the extra money in my opinion, 500 points doesn't give you enough resolution for longer trails.

Perhaps they need to publish a spec about the limitations of what can be uploaded on a particular model? Not a word about it in the manual.


As a side note, I looked around Garmin documentation for information about truncating at 500 for the 60 series.

In MapSource help I found the following remark:
"NOTE: Tracks with more than 500 track points may be truncated on some Garmin GPS devices. Check your device's owner's manual for more information."

I checked the manual for the 60csx as they suggested. No information there.

Garmin 62s Micro SD card map problem

Bought a new Garmin 62s. So far it is a very good unit. I then ordered a pre-loaded Garmin City Navigator Micro SD card. Installed it into slot the only way it goes in and is held secure. When I turn on the GPS the message "Cannot Unlock Maps" displays and the only map available is the GPS basemap. There was no unlock code packed with the Garmin Micro SD Card City Naviagator. I did burn a backup DVD with all the data on the Garmin preloaded card if that could be the cause? Any help is greatly appreciated.

The message "Cannot Unlock Maps" tells me the card is being read. I would contact a Garmin support specialist and he will walk you through all the files that should be on the sd card. There are several files other than the gmapsupp.img that should be there. Sounds to me like you may have accidentally deleted the key unlock files.
