would it be a better plan to get topo usa, and download it the gagm1n

The topo product for the whole US is a lower resolution (100k) compared to 24k, so you do not see as many topo lines, 2 tracks etc. But the big difference would be that the 100k version does not support 'routing' (at least it did not when I bought it), while the 24k one does. 'Routing' is where you select a Go-to location, and the GPS picks a road route for you.

I have Topo U.S. on mine. I am not really sure if you can upload "Hunt Montana". You may want to contact Garmin first and see what they say.Sorry that I can't be of more help.

As Richard responded, you do need to get the micro SD card and then you can load maps. I had found free topos to load from online, but I can't remember the site for right now. They worked perfect however.

I know the National Geographic TOPO! software can upload and download waypoints and tracks and routes (I do that all the time). But this post suggests you can upload MAPS?? That would be wonderful, but I don't think so.This is a direct quote from the NG website, as of april 2007: "Note: Waypoints and routes will be transferred to your GPS unit, but maps cannot be transferred or viewed on your GPS unit."There is a related product from NG, called "Pocket Topo", that puts the maps on a PDA. So if you have a GPS-enabled PDA, that's how to get NG maps combined with GPS. But it does not work with a normal GPS, e.g. a GPSMAP 60CSx. You have to have a PDA with GPS, which Garmin and others sell. I know the National Geographic TOPO! software can upload and download waypoints and tracks and routes (I do that all the time).

I just bought a Garmin 60CSx, downoaded all of Garmin's Mac software from their website, and bought the Mac-compatible maps (as well as loading some of the free topos available) and, other than a few minor glitches, it's been great. I have an Intel iMac.

WHAT? the question is too vague? I can tell you this: I returned TOPO because I felt it was useless and the producers need to invest time and NOT rush there product to market in the version I had in order to make it truly beneficial. It is mostly featureless and ultimately useless, lacking trails, roads, land marks, etc. I hope that answered your question?

Yes, but it comes on desperate disks so you have to download it first. It's worth it trust me

Yes but it's a slow version, you would have to download a customized, much faster version of it

Yes that is exactly when it works, away from all connections. as long as you are outside and let it find sattelites, you will be able to use your map Programs. you may have to go to settings as it has to accept the Map program, then it will track onto your map on your tablet or phone, i personally use "Navigon Maps", and a Canadian topo map as well, good Luck, rick.m

The software version is what was already programed when I purchased them new. I have not updated them or added anything different as of yet. I would like to put the topo on them for sure

You can download maps for it from the us topographic service. I think It would serve your needs

2GB is a limitation with some maps. Try loading a 24K topo map of more than a few states and yer out of luck. I can fit WA and OR on a 2GB but trying to also load my CA or NV 24K's and they just won't fit.

Maybe(?), my 650t w/US Topo has Portuguese both as voice and operation language. But if the "brazil" indicates some specific dialect, it's not supported.

No. Only US. I live in Brazil, so I install the Igo and use it. The Igo allows to install any map. Since it you have the map (you can find on the internet).

Hello, the watch comes pre-loaded with courses (Mexico included) so you don't have to download any maps. But if a new course were to be built than you would need to. Keep in mind that you will have to pay an annual fee to access the maps. It's 20 US dollars a year. If you buy a Garmin watch (do a search for garmin s1) you don't pay for any annual fees. Good luck, I'm sure your husband will be very happy with this gift.

Ther's a matter of semantics involved here (or, it all depends on what the meaning of 'is' is). Sure, the NG topos will 'work with' the 60 Csx--you can mark waypoints and routes on NG maps on your PC and download them to your Garmin. But you can't download the NG maps! In other words, you can download coordinates from NG all day long; you just can't download maps. It's a subtle distinction that a lot of people miss, and I would have thought that NG would have made it clear.
