Hi, sorry, I hadn't seen your reply. I ended up sending it back to the seller with Ebay's help. The seller then refused it and it was sent back to me. Then they wanted me to send it again, which I did. All a bit odd. Thanks, anyway.

I'd tried a lot of things before I'd posted here and been through the manual. Now after trying your suggestions, I'm at a loss. I've used Garmins before. It shouldn't be this hard just to get a map to show on it. It does seem like there might be something wrong with it.

Thanks again for your help.

Hi, thanks to you both for your replies.

sockmonkey, yes, I tried a smaller card in case a large card was a problem. I used a 2GB and yes, FAT32.

Boyd, I?d already downloaded the pdf of the manual. (Incidentally, it?s the cx, not the csx). You refer to page 45. However, none of the maps appear in the first place to allow you to enable them. You also mention page 69 in regards to card info. I can?t find card info. According to the manual, if you press the Menu button while the Mass Storage page is open, you can view card information. Nothing happens when I press this. It?s not the contacts though because when it?s in Mass Storage mode, the computer sees the card.

I?m not going to admit how many hours I?ve been at this but I?m rather fed up. I said to the seller that I?d persevered and wanted it to work but might have to return it. They suggested I sell it on. I wasn?t impressed.

Thanks again for your input.

Hi, thanks for your quick and informative reply.

After trying my maps as well as the Garmin GB Discoverer - Scotland map which was in the box with the unit, I then tried what you suggested, creating a folder named Garmin and changing the name of the file. I still can't get maps to appear on the thing. I'm not really that bothered about City Navigator or Bluechart. It's really the Opensource map I want to use.

I've spent a lot of hours persevering and think I might have to send it back. I think the seller said no returns but surely that can't apply if the things not working properly.

Thanks again.

I have a number of maps on micro SD cards - City Navigator, BlueChart and Open Source map. When I stick them in my Garmin Montana, it recognises them straight away.

However, I've just bought a GPS Map 60cx on Ebay and it does not seem to be seeing any of them. (When I put the unit in mass storage mode and connect to my computer by USB, BaseCamp sees the maps on the cards.) Any suggestions?
