the question was how do i export the maps i already had on mapsource to my garminmap60csx?
i figured it out... after 8 hrs of talking on the forums, deleting and re-installing all the programs, and downloading the trial version of global mapper(which would make anyone happy to pay $250+ and be done with it after reading all the work involved in creating a map like the NE USA part 3), then going to bed at 7 am and thinking about it overnight i woke up and got back to it.(i'm currently layed off)
all i was missing was to hit the yellow triangle looking thing at the top of the screen on mapsource to turn my cursor into a selector to select the quadrants of my topo map i wanted to eport onto my 60csx. once i figured this simple step out, it took me only 3 minutes to download what had been taking me hours! hope this helps future newbies like me, i would have LOVED to had been told this... -shaun
