Garmin Support Center is where you will find answers to frequently asked questions and resources to help with all of your Garmin products. Garmin WebUpdater still works on the Mac for the 60csx. The Mac version of Basecamp works good too. I much prefer the 60 model over the 62 or 64 because of the much easier to clip-on/off handlebar/canoe thwart mount.

Maximize your GPS Memory

Your Garmin GPSMAP 60CSx has limited storage space for waypoints, routes, and tracks. Once you reach that limit, your GPS can't hold any more data. Smart ExpertGPS users have figured out how to eke out every last bit of memory space on their Garmin GPS receivers. Before each outdoor adventure or visit to a project site, they use ExpertGPS to back up the contents of their GPS, and then clear the GPS data memory. They can then download as much data as possible onto their GPS (leaving some room for GPS data collection out in the field). When they get back, they use ExpertGPS to upload all of their Garmin waypoints, routes, and tracks onto their computer and save it. Once they've backed up the new data from their GPS, they can clear the memory again, keeping their GPS ready for their next trip.

Backup your Garmin GPSMAP 60CSx waypoints, routes, and tracks

Backup your GPSMAP 60CSx waypoints, routes, and tracks by using ExpertGPS to transfer them to your laptop or desktop computer. Now you've got a safe back-up of all of the important data on your GPSMAP 60CSx, and use ExpertGPS to find and create new waypoints, routes, and tracks to download to your Garmin GPS. Before you update your Garmin GPSMAP 60CSx firmware or install a custom basemap, Garmin recommends that you backup all of your GPS data. ExpertGPS gives you the peace-of-mind that your Garmin GPSMAP 60CSx data is always safe.

Making Maps from your Garmin GPSMAP 60CSx Data

Real 1:24000 USGS Topo Maps

View your Garmin GPSMAP 60CSx waypoints, routes, and tracks over USGS topo maps and aerial photos. These are actual 1:24000 scale topographic maps from the US Geological Survey, giving you much more terrain detail than the maps that came with your Garmin.

Toggle between Topo, Aerial, and Color Orthophotos

Instantly switch between topo maps, aerial photos, and color urban imagery using the T, A, and U keys in ExpertGPS. This ability to toggle back-and-forth between several views of your GPS data is unique to ExpertGPS, and is one of its most popular features.

Give your maps a professional look

ExpertGPS comes preloaded with all the line patterns and cartographic styles you need to draw highways, railroad tracks, transmission lines, streams, and more. And the waypoint and track style editors let you create your own map symbols, change track colors, and customize exactly how your GPS and map data is drawn.

Boost your Garmin GPS data entry speed 500%!

Why waste time entering new waypoints on the tiny screen of your Garmin GPSMAP 60CSx? ExpertGPS can do it 5x faster! Use the New Waypoint dialog in ExpertGPS to create new waypoints and POI listings for your Garmin GPS. As you type, ExpertGPS automatically suggests the best possible name for this waypoint on your GPS.

Calculating Area with your Garmin GPSMAP 60CSx

Calculate Area (Acreage) using your Garmin GPSMAP 60CSx

Calculate area with your Garmin GPSMAP 60CSx. ExpertGPS automatically calculates the acreage of any parcel, field, or tract no matter how irregular, when you record the boundary with your Garmin GPSMAP 60CSx or trace it over the maps in ExpertGPS. ExpertGPS allows you to calculate acreage in three different ways:
1. Calculate area by walking a perimeter with your GPS. ExpertGPS calculates the acreage enclosed by your Garmin GPSMAP 60CSx tracklog.
2. Calculate area by marking GPS waypoints at the corners of a field or parcel. In ExpertGPS, connect those waypoints into a route, and the acreage is automatically calculated.
3. Calculate area by tracing over a map or aerial photo. Use the Track Tool in ExpertGPS to trace the property boundary or field, and let ExpertGPS calculate the number of square feet it encloses.

Garmin GPSMAP 60CSx Waypoints and POIs

Maximize your Garmin waypoints

ExpertGPS lets you get the most out of the waypoints on your Garmin GPSMAP 60CSx by making it easy to assign the best symbol and to give each waypoint a long, meaningful name (using a real keyboard, not the little controls on your GPS). Think about it:

Your Garmin GPSMAP 60CSx can hold 1000 waypoints. Waypoints on the Garmin GPSMAP 60CSx can contain up to 14 characters. Waypoint comments (notes) can contain up to 30 characters. How long would it take you to enter all of those waypoints by hand into your GPS? ExpertGPS will save you hours on this one task alone!

It sounds like you are trying to double-click, or otherwise open, an .img file intended for a Garmin GPS.

You shouldn’t do this. Double-clicking tells your computer to “find the program that will understand .img files, and open this with it”. But this .img file is not meant for a program on your computer. It’s meant for your Garmin GPS unit. Assuming you have an SD card installed in the card socket for your Garmin, simply follow the Installing the map onto your GPS instruction below.

1. Connect your Garmin to your computer via a USB cable.
2. Put your Garmin in USB Mass Storage mode. (On an eTrex, this is typically done by going to the menu screen, then Setup -> Interface -> USB Mass Storage.)
3. The Garmin should show up as a removable disc (like a USB stick) in the usual place. On a Mac, for example, this will be on the desktop.
4. If there isn’t a folder on the Garmin called ‘Garmin’, create one.
5. Into this folder, copy the .img file that you downloaded.
6. Rename it to gmapsupp.img if it’s not already called that.
7. Eject the Garmin as you would a USB stick. Again, on a Mac, you do this by dragging it to the trash.

When your Garmin reboots, you should now have the GarminWorldmaps map displayed.

On Windows – No memory card

• The easiest way is to use Garmin sendmap, a command line tool, which sends the gmapsupp.img file to the Garmin device. Already existing maps will be overwritten, so create a backup first.
• It is also possible (didn’t work for me with a Vista C) to transfer any section of a map together with all maps on your unit after the map has been registered in MapSource. There is a section on how to do that (This is the same as the method above): OSM Map On MapSource. After integration of maps, in MapSource select ALL maps at once. That works across different map sets as well. Then choose “send to device”. The transfer will take quite a while.

On Windows – Memory card

If you don’t already have any gmapsupp.img file on your internal memory, and you have a memory card, you can simply copy your gmapsupp.img file into a folder called garmin on the memory card using a card reader or USB mass storage mode.

On Mac OS X

Garmin has a product called MapInstall and MapManager for the Mac software version 2.1.3 as of January 5, 2010 Download (21.24 MB) It’s similar to Garmin Mapsource.

Very similar to Linux. The difference is that the Garmin device is automatically mounted into the /Volume path instead of “/mnt/gps” (or whatever). You can rename the device path name from the default by marking the device symbol and accessing the information panel (command+i). Now rename it to e.g. “GARMIN”. So you get the device path /Volume/GARMIN . On this device create a directory named “Garmin” and copy the file “gmapsupp.img” into it. That’s it. Older firmware versions of the Garmin GPSmap 76CSx are confused by files that OSX places on the card when indexing it with spotlight. After connecting the Garmin in mass storage mode, the next time the Garmin is powered off it will sound a continuous low error tone, only fixable by removing the batteries. The fix is either to update the firmware, or to place a file called .metadata_never_index in the root folder of the Garmin memory card. To create the file, open a terminal and issue the following:

You may also need to clean up the spotlight files if they have already been placed

will show you all the hidden files and

will delete them. Basically delete anything that’s not the Garmin folder the .metadata_never_index file, or the gmapsupp.img file. Don’t forget to delete any hidden files inside the Garmin folder:
