Garmin GPSmap 60Cx

[Larns]

I have the above GPS, as excellent as it is, the swmbo has thrown out the box.........and everything that came in it. I'm in a bit of a fix as I don't have the program CD that came with it any longer and I would really really like to put my maps up on the computer screen as I sick of looking at the tiny screen on the unit at home.
So my plea goes out to any one that has this unit and still has the CD, can I please get a copy???? Or even have it e-mailed?

I have been to the garmin website and they only offer updates not the original program:(

Any help would be appreciated

Cheers

You after the Mapsource software? I've got a Garmin Legend Cx.

the mapsouce cd lets you download from your computer, but there must be another cd that installs the programs to allow your puta to recognise your gps. I recently had a similar problem with mine and got the mapsource cd of a fellow forumite, but I still cant hook my gps up to download as my computer doesnt recognise my gps.Is there another installation disk???:eek:

I only ever got the one CD with the GPS.

G'day Larns;

There is only 1 CD as far as I know , which contains Trip & Waypoint Manager ( Mapsource ) , Mapsource and Trip&waypoint manager can be used with nearly all of Garmin Units GPS maping.

Ok, I had a better look and yes, the Map source cd has the installation details in the handbook section, which I somehow overlooked:eek: and everything is now hunky dory, question though, I have downloaded the maps from Tracks for Oz for Qld and NT onto it, can you fit them all on to the GPS???

Yes , you should be able to , How big is the Memory card on the GPS Unit ?

Well, after I downloaded the CD i then discovered that there is a new type of compression file out there. RAR
Never heard of it untill yesterday, took some finding but I ended up finding a free program (another download) to uncompress it.
It took all weekend but I finally got mapsource up and running. Cheers to Disco owner for all your help, it's what makes this site so great:twobeers:

But at the end of the day I couldn't do what I set out to do. APPARENTLY preprogrammed garmin cards can't be unlocked and viewed on the map manager!!!!!!!!!!
All weekend I spent:eek:
So now if I want to view my bluechart on the computer I have to go buy the CD.:bangin:

Oh well lesson learned...........anyone wanna buy a blue chart?:D

Cheers Guys
