Is it possible to have subfolders in the garmin folder that has the .img file?  Can I have a folder called MI and one called Texas, each containing a specific .img file?  Or is it just simpler to load every map tile from MI to TX and call it good?  Seems like I would have a lot of map tiles that I will not use and thus the redraw rate of the device will work slower.

Thanks.

With my 60csx came a DVD entitled Topo 100k.  I thought I was getting Topo 2008.  Is there much difference between these two?  Which has the more detail for frogging through the bush?  Is it worth having Garmin send me the Topo 2008 and I'll send back the Topo 100k.

Of course, I am no world traveller and the Michigan TOPO here beats them all, hands down.

Thanks.

Mike, who has to play with his new device  

Manual says either alkaline or those Nhik (sp) ones.  Does that mean I cannot use Lithium batteries in this unit?

I see nowhere in any toolbar where my device is listed.  Do I need some special driver or something?  Mapsource sees it.

Thanks

Man, there sure are a lot of choices out there for these Micro SD cards.  I understand about half of the details in the descriptions.  Is there one brand or Class or whatever better than another?  I usually shop Newegg.com.

I understand the 60CSx can only handle just over 2000 map segments.  When I select maps with the map tool in MapSource, is each yellow rectangle ONE map segment?

Thanks.

Thanks to everyone who made the maps on this site available to us.  I recently used the Michigan TOPO and it was one of the most accurate maps I have seen.  I am certain that all the maps here are just as accurate.  Much better than anything else out there.

Thank you map makers and map contributors!

I have noticed that the waypoint symbols in MapSource sometimes don't match those on my Venture HC.  I will soon be the owner of a new 60CSx unit and wonder if the waypoint symbols in that unit will match MapSource better.

Thanks for a great site and great folks running it.

What does the "r" stand for?

Thanks

Hello,

I have a Venture HC and love it.  Now, if I were load a custom map to my device, does that overwrite the basemap?  Or do I have that 24MB of storage separate from the basemap space?  If the basemap of my device gets overwritten, where do I go to get it back with I am done bushwhacking the forests and swamps of Michigan?

Thanks muchly
Mike
