Garmin GPS 60csx @ Anaconda

timbrell · 08-09-2010, 04:24 PM

In the new Anaconda sale catalogue in my inbox today the 60csx is on sale $299 ($200 off) until 25th August. Looks like a good deal. Hope they have plenty of stock.

If I bought one what extra software/maps would I need to buy for urban and eastern aust use? and would there be any free maps that cover those things ?

I know nothing about these things ....

Shonkmaps will cover tracks, etc., and is free to download and pretty good, but for urban maps you'll need to purchase something, Garmins topo for Aus also has full street mapping and is routable, around $200, or wait for OZTopo v3 which will offer the same functionality.

Quick question(s)...
I bought one one of these beauties a couple of weeks ago from
the Morayfield shop. Been doing a (fair) bit of research and I now
feel a bit overwhelmed with options and information!

What I am sure of is that I want topo maps for my bikes
and 4x4. But I'm not sure what to get. The DVD or micro SD card??
Or do they come together? I'm sort of shying away from the shonky maps
option as I'd prefer to pay for the registered software.
Basically I just feel a bit lost in it all. Is there a new version of
the topo maps about to come out that I should wait for??
Who/where is the best place to throw my hard earned at?
I dunno...Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

GodSilla · 10-14-2010, 09:42 AM

Qdog, see my reply in the Aus forum.
Cheers.

ALWAYS buy the dvd so the maps also load on your computer/mapsource as well as unit.
if you bought the sd card you have no maps on computer only unit.
garmin does not properly explain this.

Can't you upload/copy maps from the SD card to the PC?
