Well, i'm sure liking this website (and my 60csx) more than ever!

Thanks for the reply, so the topo map on the scan disc can can be used as normal, and i guess some kind of combination of geocaches and "waypoints/marks" that stays under 1000 would be OK....downloading a single geocache location from a website would be only "one" of the 1000? Thanks again for helping a newbie

i have a question for our knowledgable forum members. i have a 60csx, and would like to use my arizona topo map that is loaded on a 2Gig scan disc card in the gps unit, and download all the surrounding geocache sites onto the card also. when one downloads the geocache sites, does the information go into the card along with the topo map, or does it get written over the map?.. will the geocache sites be written along side the topo map so that both will be on the card, or do the geocache sites get written on an internal fixed memory in the gps?...and how many sites can be loaded if they do get written on an internal memory?....and/or how is the best way to display your topo map, and have 20/30 geocaches sites loaded in the gps also on the same scan disc card? Thanks

Hi, thanks again for the recent help with the tool box, works great, and we're gonna give our new topo maps a good workout ....still can't seem to download that paiute trail map ,(my buddies and i have worked as atv guides there, and i have over 5Kmiles logged on the Paiute trails ) and was wondering if there is some way you can send me a downloadable link.

I was trying to download the Paiute Trail map, and it looks like only a data page, and i couldn't find an icon indicating a download function, i would love to have this map and surrounding area, as we ride there pretty often,  and would like to ask for a little help and/or guidence on how to get it, thanks guys (foto is at about 12Kft on the Paiute Trail )

Thanks. got the "tool box" and it worked just fine for removing a map.... and got the northwest /oregon map from the download, and it has good detail ( although now i'm convinced we live on a VERY SMALL street because we're not on there ) looks like we're ready to head south for awhile, and thanks to GPSFILEDEPOT and you guys, we have some good maps for gps'ing on the atv. we got a chance to give the 60csx a workout over the weekend, we headed into the mtns on some small snowed-in trails out back, and really had fun with it. we had the truck in 4WD diff-lock most of the time, and having the 60csx gave us a great perspective where we were at. we thought we would need a 12V power cord right away, but we left our unit "on" for THREE days, and still had plenty of battery power for at least another day. thanks again guys, really appreciate the help!

 Thanks. i saw several downloads, some beta, and the disclaimer at the top in red ink. and took a look at the sample page. looks like it will do the job.  which download would work for me, a conservative downloader who doesn't want to erase his harddrive again....also , on the maps list on this site, i could only find oregon in the left hand column, not on the right side with all the "good maps", am i missing something, or is included in another state's/ area? thanks again for your valuable time and reply

Thanks oz, you guys are sure smart and very helpful. i've scrolled thru the topics and read your advice about how to remove a map from mapsource on one's computer, by going to the "tool box". i'm having a little trouble finding this "tool" to remove Ibycus usa (i don't really need it, and it takes up so much room, 878MB) i am using windows XP and a garmin download of mapsource...also we like to atv in the backcountry in oregon, utah, and arizona, what topo map/maps would be good for us? and what is the difference between a complete usa topo, and the regional topos? this is a very informative site, and no doubt you guys have helped many of us newbies, thanks again
