I have been playing around with mapsource and downloading maps from this site for about a month. Today a random error message came up and it just dissapeared and no longer in the tabs or in the list of my maps. Although it is listed in the unlock region tab in my maps, properties even shows a code with dashes. Its just not selectable and I can add it.

I got mapsource installed and the city navigator map originally  when I bought a Nuvi 255wt and downloaded my free update for the unit. Its been way over a year, now its gone. Poof....

The only thing I did yesterday was update my firefox garmin plugin when I was asked to. Any idea what happened or how I can get a navigatable mao back again?

A little aggrivated because it seems like I have to pay for/update something that was working fine just a day ago....I was just getting better at creating a route and using mapsource on the lap top....

Thanks.....

So are locked maps the ones you buy, and unlocked ones the ones you download for free?

I am guessing then I could create say a route or a waypoint in map source and you can send it to either unit, but it would only let me send update maps to one unit. Pretty sleezy, I can't see paying for the same map update twice, maybe even three times if I had a garmin cycle computer also.

What is the best map to use with the 60csx to use on the bike? idea is to download gpx files from cycling groups and use it to follow bike routes. Would that be the NA map?

Sorry for the questions, trying to figure out what I still need to get to get it all running.

First great site, my 60csx is still in the mail, but I am already learning so much about upgrading the maps. I always had this crazy idea to digitize some historic USGS sites and use them in a GPS, this site may get me there some day.

But first off I am kind of confused if I can use mapsource on the same computer to work with a Nuvi 255wt and a 60csx? I am confused if that is possible with the way Garmin locks the map files.

The idea is to use my nuvi for the car, and the 60csx for touring on my bike, but know out of the box the 60csx doesn't do much for that purpose and I have to download maps but don't want to screw up all the custom waypoints I setup for the nuvi.

Appreciate any helpful hints anyone has......
