How do ya transfer tracks to a 60CSx data card?

[cheezehead]

I got a new 60CSx a few weeks back and am still learning. Can you transfer tracks to the card? If yes, how?

What format do you have the tracks in now?

I use The Garmin Topo program so there in .gdb format.

I did find the little box that ya check if you want new tracks to be saved to the card. I do not see how you would even save tracks that are on the receiver to the card.

If your asking about transfering tracks from a PC to the card in the unit, yes its possible but useless. The 60csx can’t use tracks that are on the card, but rather only stores backups of its tracks(if you have the box checked) on the card in GPX format. it is nice though because you can clear the units track log and the backups are still on the card.
You can access these backup track log files by putting the 60csx in USB mass storage mode. TO use the 60csx in USB mass storage mode, go to main menu, setup, interface, USB mass storage mode(you can get out of this mode by pressing the power button). This option was added with one of the firmware updates, so if you are not seeing it update the unit firmware to the most recent one.
