Garmin 60csx cheap now

I dont blame ya.. I am drawn to your avatar as well. My wife just laffed at me.

Thats no a bad direction

I down loaded a topo map but I keep them turned off , it makes it to clutered for me !!

so does that make it ok to buy????

what exactly is a topo map look like on the GPS?

the above two post are examples of what you can do once you learn how ! I still do know how !!!lol the last post above is different topo maps , I really dont think you need them ! just my .02 worth !

So from what I see there it dont add any more detail to teh map other than strictly Topo info. There are no more roads or trails listed on it?? Does it add stuff like rivers and lakes or is that already on the unit to begin with?? If the only thing the $75 topo CD adds is topo info then I dont need it but if it adds all the back country dirt roads then it may be worth it. Talk to me like a dumbie Start at zero cause thats what I know abought GPS's. The topo stuff may be handy but not $75 handy.

well like I said before "Im learnin " but I would NOT pay that for it , I got mine free and you can to ! I had a buddy help me and he is a member here but doesnt post much ! the best thing I done was get it and play with it ! learn the gps then just talk to folks thet have them and learn one thing at a time. I like mine if for nothing else but seeing allitude , mileage , and time in BIG numbers !!!lol its also fun to do a loop and save it and see how many acres is inside that loop . hope this helps a little bit !

Well I just ordered mine. I skipped the topo for now. I will play with it and see how I like it and decide if ineed the topo or not. I got a suction cup RAM mount with it so I can use it in the truck or ranger.

now on the ram mounts you can order just the bases , you dont have to order the whole mount !

Ya but I dont want a mount glued or screwed to the dash of my truck so the suction cup unit was my only option and it will mount to the windsheild of either the truck or ranger.

Can you have Google Earth on the GPS instead of topos? My brother says i'm a human GPS and don't need one anyway but i'd like to get one soon.

ok I am going to order one as well! I want to start logging our rides!

does that suction mount work well? I was looking at the mounts on ebay and all i see is a suction cup or a 40 dollar atv mount.

Also does this thing need a case to stay in?

www.gpscity.com

I checked GPSCITY and they where $40 more for the GPS. I dident check on the mount price. I hope the suction cup works ok. If not I will just use it in te truck and buy a dash mount for the ranger. I wont glue or screw anything to my truck dash. The one thing I wish I had ordered was the cigaret lighter adapter so I can use it extended times while traveling.

I wish I had got it also but the batterys last almost two days ! I was impressed with how long they last !

I'm excited about it coming.

Mine just showed up today. Now I just have to figure out how to use it.

You can go to http://www.gpsfiledepot.com/ and download free Topos of every state. They are much more accurate than Garmin Topo. Also on Gpsfiledepot you can download Garmin Maps I have made for all of WV. It is "All WV ATV Trails 1.6" under WV. The maps are exremely useful, much better than individual tracks. The program will also load the original GPS tracks onto you computer. It has over 600 miles of the Outlaw trails plus HM and Burning Rock system.

OK I downloaded the all WV trails 1.6 and can see them on my computer but I cant figure out how to download them to my GPS. It says I have to select a file name to transfer but none are listed in t area on the left of the maps. I am comletely dumb on this GPS stuff so any in depth directions would be GREATLY apreciated.

While we are on th subject how can I get more detailed road maps?? My GPS will show me my curent location as being in boyden but it only shows teh main US hyway 18 that runs threw town and no streets or anything. It says I am out in th midle of nowhere just north of the hyway. I asume I have to load a more detailed road map onto it but have no idea.

OK I found the tutorial on how to selct the maps and transfer them to my GPS. It says I transfered them and my GPS says it recived files but I cant find them for anything. For the life of me I can not figure out how to see them on my GPS at all. I have gone threw the owners manual and it is not much help.

Nevermind. I found the trals on my GPS. Now i just need to find a more detailed road/street map.

For anyone that hasn't decided, check out Delorme's equipment for their TOPO ver. 9.0. Got map upgrade Friday and it's the best I've seen.

Brandon, now that you have figured it out and are an expert I thought I would let you know that I have uploaded a new version 1.7 this weekend. It has several new trails between Barkers Creek and Burning Rock. There are a lot of other changes also since it had been several months since I updated it.

got mine sat.

heck i still havent gotten mine!

Bob T. I probobly wont bother. We had an Ice storm Sunday morning so Church was canceld so I spent ALL Sunday morning getting it that far. I realy dont feel like spending that many hours screwing with it. Knowing my luck I will mess up what I already have.

Tbone. I selected teh free 5-8 day shiping and it showed up on day 5.

DANG T-BONE , YOU SO TIGHT THE CARD CO. WONT EVEN LET YOUR MONEY GO !!!
