Hi All,
My GPSMAP 60CSx (Ver. 3.30) killed a microSD card (2GB Lexar) on a
road trip to AZ, which sucked BIG TIME!!!, we had to resort to using
paper maps. I bought a Kingston 2GB to replace it while dealing with
Lexar on a RMA replacement.
One day the 2GB Kingston replacement corrupted, luckily I was able to
reformat and reload this card. I started to get paranoid and now carry
a backup Sandisk card in case the GPSMAP 60CSx eats another card at an
inopportune time, like when we were in AZ....
In both cases the batteries were < 1/4 charge. Low voltage is the only
thing I can attribute to these two failures. I had an Olympus digital
camera once that would corrupt flash cards on low batteries.
Has anyone had similar problems with microSD card's and the CSx/Cx
units?
WARNING WARNING WARNING, DON'T BUY LEXAR, DON'T BUY LEXAR, DON'T BUY
ANYTHING LEXAR!!!!!!!!! Lexar chose to ignore me and never issued an
RMA number after several email exchanges confirming the card was bad.
I finally had to buy another 2GB Lexar microSD card, switch it with
the bad card and return it for my money back....

I see you didn't follow your own advice.

Didn't you read the rest of his sentence? He did that so he could
swap the working card for the broken card, then he returned the broken
card as if it were the newer working card. So he unloaded his broken
card back on some unsuspecting vendor, who will likely just pass it
back to Lexar. Sneaky at best, but I can understand one's frustration
at a non-responsive customer service department.

And he ended up buying a new Lexar card, exactly what he told others not to
do. Had he followed his own advice he would now be the proud owner of some
other makers card for the same price, which is what he recommended others
do. Instead, he's stuck with another Lexar, which might yet go bad in the
same way the first one did.

'he would now be the proud owner of some other makers card for the same
price'
The price for the Lexar, after returning the dead one, was $0. What other
brand can you get for $0?
