I've got a Garmin 60CSx.  I've loaded the MS Topo in Mapsource.  I need to be able to see some roads and trails that are not marked on the Topo map.

My original plan was to draw tracks that overlaid the roads, save them, and load them to the GPS unit.  However, I quickly learned that the 60CSx limits you to 20 saved tracks, and I have about 75 to load.

Is there a way I can edit the MS Topo map to draw in some roads, or overlay my own lines on the screen to show my camp roads?

Another option I thought of is to just combine several of the tracks by "doubling back" on them and continuing into another road without beginning a new track.  I would really like to prevent having to do this, as it would be a pain.

I combed through my users guide on this one, and I'm pretty sure I'm asking for instructions to do something that is not possible.  It's worth a shot though.

I use my GPS for boating, hunting, and work.  You might imagine that over time I build up quite a large collection of user waypoints and saved tracks.  I organize these waypoints and tracks on my computer by saving individual Mapsource files with related information, e.g. all data having to do with my hunting camp is saved in its own Mapsource file.

The problem is that while all of the data is separated and organized on my computer, it's completely combined and cluttered on my 60CSx unit because it is so time consuming to delete waypoints and saved tracks on the unit itself.  I want to be able to clear off large amounts of data from the unit quickly without wiping out any map data, preferably from my computer.  The only way I know of to delete user waypoints is 1 by 1 from the gps unit.  Ugh.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Hey guys,

I'm new to the site, and I noticed that a majority of the state topo maps are available and more are coming out every day.  I was just curious to know if anyone was working on a Virginia Topo map?

I can't say thank you enough to those who have put in their time to make these maps available to the rest of us.
