60CSx 3.00 Firmware and MapSource !

H,

I found out a couple of things :

1. Latest MapSource still doesn't even let you create mapsets larger than
4GB
2. Latest firmware for 60CSx/76CSx still doesn't recognizes a mapset file
larger than 2GB ! I tried to create a 3.5GB mapset with about 1,600 files in
MapSource, which was successfully created and then transfered to a 4GB
Sandisk microSDHC card. After inserting the card into my 60CSx, the "card
and the correct used ( about 3.5 ), but could not read the card or file ! I
only could see the base map ( no other maps at all ) and could not select
any other maps.
3. There is still the 2000+ mapset limit on the 60CSx/76CSx after the 3.00
update !

Too bad they didn't include or fixed that.

Cheers,

JCE

Yea...BTW where are you finding the 3.00 update for the 60CSx? When I
go to "My Garmin" it says no update available...unless it has just shown
up in the last day.

I believe the GPS Chipset Type G Ver. 3.00 is currently only available
through the Garmin WebUpdater, although there doesn't appear to be any
listing of the changes made from version 2.90 to 3.00.

I think to use a 4 GB card, the 60/76 "x" series models will require a
software update that lets them use SDHC type memory cards. As of this
time, none of the "x" series models are SDHC compatible as afar as I know.

Hi Jack,

first to Pegleg's question..........3.00 is as "Deacon" stated ONLYille via
the Web Updater 1 I called Garmin several time and I am in e-mail contact
with them, but so far they couldn't provide any "changelog" between 2.90 and
3.00 !

Yeah, I was really hoping that the 3.00 firmware finally would enable SDHC
support on the 60/76 series........ I know they aren't compatible, so I
borrowed a 4GB SDHC card from a friend and tried it, which didn't work. But
strangely the 60CSx sees the 4GB !!! Several other devices ( Camera, MP3
players, etc. ) I have do not even recognize a 4GB card at all, or just show
2GB even if it is a 4GB card !! The 60CSx shows the 4GB card correctly, it
even shows the correct size of the map file, it just CAN'T read the file. So
I am wondering if the 60/76 series is already SDHC compatible, but the
software doesn't work right or isn't enabled !!!

Any thoughts ? ( I mean other that 10,000 people send Garmin a request
e-mail or call for SDHC support ! hahahahahaha )
