Using the Mapping Databases Many of the GPSMAP 60CSx features require detailed mapping data in order to be fully operational, so you may want to transfer maps before using the unit. The microSD card (provided with certain units) can be loaded with detailed maps from optional MapSource ® disks for your PC to enhance the versatility of your GPSMAP 60CSx.

With selected MapSource detailed mapping data, you can view listings of nearby restaurants, lodging, shopping centers, attractions and entertainment, and even retrieve addresses and phone numbers for any listed location. The amount of data transferable is limited to the capacity printed on the microSD card.

To transfer data to the microSD card you can use the USB Mass Storage feature explained on page 68 . You can purchase high capacity microSD cards at your electronics supplier.
