GPSmap 60CS Appendix Downloading MapSource Map Data Garmin MapSource CD-ROM's offer a variety of detailed mapping data and navigation information. MapSource is also an excellent medium for storage and safety backup of Personal Waypoints, Routes and Saved Tracks. Garmin MapSource U.S. Topo 24K Digital Elevation Models (DEM) Maps provide elevation data at any point identified by the Panning Arrow See your Garmin Dealer or visit the Garmin web site at: www.garmin.com for information on which maps work with the GPSmap 60CS. 88 Transferring MapSource Map Data If you have purchased a Garmin MapSource CD-ROM mapping program you may want to transfer detailed map data before beginning use, to provide your unit with maximum Find features and mapping capability. The GPSmap 60CS accepts up to 56 MB of map data from most MapSource products. It is not possible to transfer 3rd party maps into Garmin products. You cannot view multiple types of MapSource data in the same location at the same time (one displays over the other). When you leave a City Select area for example and enter the area of a topographic map, the display will change to contour lines. The same is true when moving from a topo map to a City Select map. Maps that are at the top of the hierarchy display over any other map information. Because new maps are constantly being released, consult your Garmin Dealer or the Garmin website to determine the order of hierarchy. Map data transfer requires the use of a PC, a Garmin MapSource CDROM, and the Universal Service Bus (USB) cable supplied with this unit. When downloading new maps, those already downloaded are overwritten. Include maps you want to retain by adding them to your new map download. Follow instructions for map transfer in the MapSource User's Manual. It is also important to note, that certain features contained in the GPSmap 60CS will not be enabled unless you are using mapping data they are designed to support, such as many of the Find Features and DEM Elevation Profiles. Visit the Garmin website for details on all of the maps for use with the GPSmap 60CS.

CD-ROM’s offer a variety of detailed mapping
data and navigation information.

Transferring MapSource Map Data
If you have purchased a Garmin MapSource CD-ROM mapping
program you may want to transfer detailed map data before beginning
use, to provide your unit with maximum Find features and mapping
capability. The GPSmap 60CS accepts up to 56 MB of map data from
most MapSource products. It is not possible to transfer 3rd party maps
into Garmin products.
You cannot view multiple types of MapSource data in the same loca-
tion at the same time (one displays over the other). When you leave a
City Select area for example and enter the area of a topographic map, the
display will change to contour lines. The same is true when moving from
a topo map to a City Select map.
Maps that are at the top of the hierarchy display over any other map
information. Because new maps are constantly being released, consult
your Garmin Dealer or the Garmin website to determine the order of
hierarchy.
Map data transfer requires the use of a PC, a Garmin MapSource CD-
ROM, and the Universal Service Bus (USB) cable supplied with this unit.
When downloading new maps, those already downloaded are overwritten.
Include maps you want to retain by adding them to your new map down-
load. Follow instructions for map transfer in the MapSource User’s Manual.
It is also important to note, that certain features contained in the
GPSmap 60CS will not be enabled unless you are using mapping data
they are designed to support, such as many of the Find Features and
DEM Elevation Profiles. Visit the Garmin website for details on all of the
maps for use with the GPSmap 60CS.
