Title: Garmin 60CSx SD *.img file backup
Post by: DrRon on June 22, 2010, 04:08:00 PM
Has anyone here ever thought about storing different versions of your Garmin SD folder on your hard drive to overwrite or recover an erroneous or deleted map file.
I just went through the hard learning process of overwriting mine from MS with a small map I thought I was adding to that file.
Seems like an easy thing to do that would take much less time than reloading the maps from MS.
Just askin'...

Yes, I think you will find that many people do this already. Just copy gmapsupp.img from the card to your hard drive. On the newer models you can go one step farther and rename the files something descriptive, since they will recognize any file with a .img extension.

But I used to do this also with the 60csx, then I would re-name the file gmapsupp.img again if I wanted to reload it on the GPS.
