I believe Google Earth will just DL everything on the unit though so it wouldn't surprise me if mapsource was the same. Garmin eTrex Legend Cx™, Garmin eTrex Venture Cx™, and Garmin eTrex Vista Cx™ do not support the use of an external antenna.I don't use mapsource too much, but I know Maptech's Terrain Navigator will let you pick and choose what you want to download. Yes, the Garmin GPSMap 60CSx supports use of an external antenna. Can I add an external antenna to a Garmin GPSMap 60CSx?Ĭan I add an external antenna to a Garmin GPSMap 60CSx? There is no perceivable difference in the speed of the MicroSD you install.ġ. The Garmin GPSMap 60CSx mostly reads from the MicroSD. The speed matters in write-dominated devices like cameras. I see MicroSD cards claiming to be 75x or 100x. An 8GB card will hold the largest maps addressible by the unit and have plenty of space for tracks. As a practical matter, the Topo product seems to be the only one to run into the 2025 segment limit and most continents for the other products take under 2GB.Ĭards of 8GB have been confirmed to work, but since these devices can only handle a single gpsmapsupp.img file which is limited to 4GB and that provides no way to switch between them, there's little incentive use a card larger than 8GB. The exact limits seem to be hard to pin down and building and transferring large datasets for experimentation is time-consuming. (Note that 6GB cards were a relatively short-lived product in 2007 or so and have faded to obscurity.) The remaining space can be used for tracks, additional track storage, or for storing non-Garmin data. The limit of 2025 segments or 2GB, whichever comes first, still comes into play. MicroSD cards of 4GB and 6GB have been confirmed to work in the Garmins with MicroSD sockets. MicroSDHC support was added in the firmware around March of 2007. In March, 2009 firmware version 3.90 (the number varies a little from model to model) added support for maps greater than 2GB, but the 2025 segment limit remains. The GPSes are limited to 2025 map tiles and the Topo product, in particular, uses tiny (county sized) tiles so it's easy to run into that limit long before you run into the 2GB limit.Ĭity Navigator Europe v9 (NT-not) has been confirmed to support maps > 2GB and it appears that the 2GB limit still holds true if multiple mapping products are used. That's not terrible 2GB holds the entire U.S. The units remain bound by a 2GB limit for a single map file in most mapping products. In 2007, 4GB and 6GB microSDHC cards became available. Garmin specifially warns against the SanDisk Ultra II 1 Gb. You can still find references withġGB and 2GB MicroSD cards becamse available later in 2006.

When the products were launched in Jan 2006, 512MB was the largestĪvailable on the market, so the manuals and Garmin's web site answered What's the largest MicroSD chip I can use on Garmin GPSMap 60CSx? Garmin does specifically recommend against using the popular SanDisk Ultra II 1 Gb cards. Most MicroSD cards come with an adapter that let them be used in SD readers and writers. It is electrically similar to Secure Digital (SD) but it is not physically compatible. Memory cards, a type of memory developed largely by Sandisk in 2005 and commonly used in cell phones.
