60csx question

[msnider]

hi all i have a question for the gps gurus out there,does anyone know what is the largest memory card the garmin 60 cs will recognize? i want to load most of canada topo and wondered if it would be easier to just use multiple cards.

Hi,

I have a 76csx Garmin and I use a 4GB card. It holds a lot of tracks and routes. I hear its best to have multiple cards for a few reasons. 1. easier to navigate for particular areas if you don't want the clutter on the screen. 2. if you are building a track and route library.

I don't have a Cx series device, but just did a quick google search... It sounds like any size microSD card will work, but the device will only use upto 2GB of the available space.

good call on checking Google or your manual. I know there are some size limitations with these devices. If 2GB is your limit the cards in that range are sometimes sold in pairs. Probably a good idea to have a few cards and keep some space opened for "explorer riding" when you need to enable tracks

A side note,

Saw that coscto has the 60cx on sale for $249.99.

for future reference i just loaded 2010 topo maps on a 2gb card.i think two cards would nearly everything.also the card is only 31% full but it will not allow any more maps.
