Map from GPSMAP 60CSx to Mapsource

So I downloaded the latest City Navigator for my Garmin GPSMAP 60CSx.
After some initial prolems, I got the maps onto the GPSr. But the maps
did not leave a trace on the PC.

I thought this was a two-step process:
1) download the maps to the PC
2) upload the maps to the GPSr, using Mapsource
Not so.

So now I have copied the maps back from the GPSr to the PC. This is one
big file, called "gmapsupp.img".

How do I get this converted to something I can use in Mapsource? I got
some help from
so I have a set of "map tiles". But the rest of the process escapes me
at the moment.

Can anyone shed some light of this for me? Please?

If you can see city street detail in Mapsource, then you are looking
at the same streets shown on the gpsr.

In the upper left hand corner of Mapsource there is a drop-down arrow.
Click on it and select "City Navigator". Also check the down arrow
for detail and set to "highest". Also check the zoom level, perhaps
your mapsource opens up zoomed way in on an area with no roads.

For me to load City Navigator maps to my 60Csx, I had to have City
Navigator installed in Mapsource first, so by definition, the maps
were in Mapsource. Do they sell a 60CSx with maps pre-installed?

Sorry Tom, you got it the wrong way round.

I have downloaded a NEW version of the City Navigator. So I have the NEW
version on the GPSr, but the OLD version in Mapsource.

So the question is: How do I get the NEW map data into Mapsource on the
computer? It is already on the GPSr.

I'm a little confused by what I'm reading here.

I'm still using CN NA 2009 with MapSource and my old 76CSx.

When I moved up from older versions of CN (or even older City Select), I
got a DVD full of maps that I installed in MapSource and then uploaded
to the GPSR. As a result, I had the same maps visible and useable on the
PC and the GPSR.

Has Garmin completely changed the way they package their maps with their
current product releases?

Yes, it has changed. Not to the better.

I - stupidly, it seems - selected "download" instead of "DVD". I assumed
- wrongly - that that the download would go the computer and be stored
there, and that I could later use Mapsource to upload the maps the the GPSr.

Instead it was downloaded AND uploaded to the GPSr in ONE operation. I
have managed to copy the map data back from the GPSr to the computer.
The trouble is, this is one big file (1860 kBytes or so). No "map tiles"
and no extra information that would enable installing the map(s) in
Mapsource, and register the map(s) in the Windows registry.
