How to Transfer Maps to GPSmap 60csx

I just got a GPSmap 60csx unit and I am trying to download a new map to it. When I am in the MapSource program I can view the map I would like to put on the unit but I can not get it to transfer. I can transfer data but not the map. I think I need to unlock the map but I don't know how to do that.

How do you unlock a map to transfer it to your GPS?

Have you highlighted the section with the map select tool, then hit the Transfer to GPS button? If you do, what happens then? Does it freeze?

If you are able to send routes and waypoints to the unit, you should be able to send selected unlocked maps as well.

    J-Lo19, you have to use the unlock feature in Mapsource to unlock your maps. This will connect you with the Garmin site. The unlock key is a combination of the type of maps (Navigator vs Bluechart) and your unit ID. They will give you a 25 character key which allows your maps to be unlocked and sent to your unit. You have to use the Map Select tool in Mapsource to select which segments of the maps you want to send to your unit.

    Jayal: Mapsource does not use Adobe Reader for transferring the maps. Use the Map Select tool in the toolbar, highlight the map segments you want to use, and then transfer to the unit.

SOURCE: How to Transfer Maps to GPSmap 60csx

You have use the unlock wizard to install the key that is provided with the software. When I bought my Mapsource CitySelect, it came with two keys. The way Garmin does it is, you can install the software as many times as you want on as many machines as you want, but can transfer the maps, data, etc ONLY to unlocked devices. Last I checked Garmin wanted $75 for additional unlocks. Some data is not locked, like Topo maps and some tide points since this data is obtained (by Garmin) from the gov't, which is free for us (wel, minus taxes we pay). Contact Garmin support, they are very attentive.

You cannot load maps to the unit using the Trip and Waypoint Manager software. That software only does what it's called - it transfers routes and waypoints. To install maps onto your GPS, you will need Mapsource, which normally comes with the maps. Once it's installed on your PC, you hook up your GPS with a mini-USB cable, choose which maps you want transferred to the unit, and then the Mapsource software will knit the map segments together and transfer them over to the unit. Hope this helps.

How to delete all waypoints & maps on GPS Garminmap 60csx
Create a new file in Mapsource, with one anonymous waypoint, and one map tile and send to unit. It will then replace what is existing on the unit at present. Otherwise, you'll have to delete the waypoints one by one, but there is no way of deleting the maps (unless they are stored on the Micro SD chip - in that case, just reformat the chip).

I recommend upgrading your system software to the latest version (5.30),
follow this link for directions and the file's location.

  1. Click on "Download" and choose to save the file to your computer.
  2. Choose a location where you can easily find the file, such as the 'My Documents' folder or 'C:\'.
  3. Once the download is complete, go to the location where you saved the file.
  4. Double-click on the downloaded file. This will automatically extract the files to C:\Garmin and run a program to transfer the software update to an SD card.
  5. Load the SD card into your GPSMAP 545s and turn it on to replace the system software of your unit.
I hope that helps.

I think all the Garmins allow to do is generate a waypoint list on your PC and upload THAT to the GPS, according to what Garmin told me about my Streetpilot C340. You also need Mapsource on the PC.

Blue chart pacific v8.5- mapsource
Try skipping the installation wizard and use your coupon code to unlock the maps/GPS online at Garmin's website. 

Also if you downloaded the mapsource software online, the download may have been corrupted.  You may have to contact garmin tech support to try another download.

Route calculation error
I was having the same problem and contacted Garmin support.

What I had done was turned off the Basemap that came with the unit. I only had the mapsource map street map on which I had purchased separately.

The technician basically said the unit needed the basemap to "locate itself". Somehow the basemap supports any maps you purchase separately. That seemed odd but once I turned the Basemap back on it calculated the routes and the error message went away.

If you have the Basemap off, try turning it on from the Map Setup - Information window.

Hope this helped.
