Boyd, jbensman,
Thank you both for your responses.
jbensman, you are correct that the download of the 1.42 GB file was possible only through the Communicator browser plug-in and was stored on the SD card.
Unfortunately, your second assertion is one that I have tried and failed. I have taken the card out of the 60CSx, put it into a card reader and attempted to have BaseCamp (and MapManager) import it. I even made sure to do this while the 60CSx was simultaneously connected.
In BaseCamp, I attempt to Import the gmapsupp.img file and I get the beach ball for a moment before it "completes" with no apparent effect. I attempt to switch the map, but the base map continues to be the only one available.
But what Boyd has said is interesting by assserting that the DOWNLOAD version of the IMG file can never be installed on the Mac. I am actually starting to believe that is true. BTW, Boyd, the download never results in an application. On the download page, the Communicator plug-in insists that you connect the GPSr. It then queries the GPSr to ensure there is enough memory (big enough card). Then it begins the download of the gmapsupp.img file directly to the SD card inside the GPSr, presumably to lock it to the unit as described by jbensman. And because the interface to the 60CSx is over USB 1.0, as was correctly stated, it is unbelievably slow.
However, thank you both... jbensman, when I get home later, I am certainly going to re-try the different scnearios you mention.
Any other ideas or answers are welcome. Also, when you order City Nav on the DVD, is the file on the CD an IMG file, GMAP file or application? Just curious...
Thanks,
Cory
