Base Camp/Map install and Garmin 60cx, img files problem

Former Member over 12 years ago

I'm using Base Camp/Mapinstaler to create an img file from a few maps; then I'm manually transferring this to me 60cx via usb, then reboot it.

The problem is the 60cx doesn't see the maps (they are not listed in the map setup). But the img file is on the 60cx, in the proper location.

Any ideas?

Mark,
The same thing has happened on a few occasions with my 76csx. What usually works for me is to pop the microSD card out and reinsert it (dirty contacts?).
Other times I've had to completly recreate the img file.
Or, you didn't wait long enough for the map to draw if its a big file.

Good luck

Both the 76csx and the 60cx can only read a single gmapsupp.img file that must be located in the \Garmin folder. If that's what you're seeing dekruyter, then consider rkharvey's suggestions. If not, I'd try using MapInstall to send the map to the 60cx. I just connected mine to my PC and MapInstall started right up.
