GPSr Units / New to GPS and have 60Csx questions
April 18, 2010, 05:06:14 AM
Let me start by thanking the folks who put this site together and maintain it! :)

Some background before I ask my questions -
1. I have done a search for GPS Map60CSx already and looked throught the 3 pages of threads.
2. I own multiple Garmin products - Namely, this one and a Garmin Nuvi 1350 for the truck.
3. This unit was a gift, although not brand new.
    When I received it, the owner took out the SD card, which had the Marine maps on it.
4. I have gone to Garmin and updated my software/firmware.

My questions - Is there a preferred size or brand SD card to replace the one that is missing? Currently, all I have is the internal memory.

Are there marine maps available other than the $116.65 Inland Lakes Vision that Garmin sells?

If there are, do I download them to the SD card, when I get one, or directly to the unit?

My off-the-wall question of the day - I have a RAM mount on my kayak for this unit. I also use a 12V 7AH battery to power my small fish finder. Is there a relatively easy way to modify a power cord to run this unit off of that battery? I've found that even with Lithium AA batteries, this unit goes through them pretty quick. My electrical and electronic skills are pretty good, so stuff like soldering, connectorizing and fabricating power blocks  and the like are not too difficult. I just don't want to have to create a printed circuit card here! ::)

Thanks for the help!

Do you mean the GPSMap 60CSx? If so then yes, they are the same with the exceptions that you noted.
