| I just got my first GPS, a Garmin GPSMap C60x. Does anyone have any reccomendations on where to download maps from? Thanks. |

I heard this talked about on 105.1 the buzz, has me thinking about a GPS myself. geocaching |
I signed up a few days ago - great interface with the Garmins. Just click "load to GPS" and off you go!  I need to find out if I can just use my buddy's MapSource CD or if I need my own. |
You will definitely need your own Mapsource Software. It registers to your unit. You can't load it to any other units. Mark. |

Have you tried - Free topo's of Astoria, Cannon Beach and PDX - appears pretty accurate www.aracnet.com/~seagull/ORTopo/ or Free user submitted maps - mapcenter.cgpsmapper.com/catalogue.php I don't know much about these but they appear interesting OpenStreetMap garminmapsearch.com/ rwsmaps.griffel.se/ Of course, free maps may or may not be accurate. I used img2gps to get maps to my sad little Etrex Vista. I think the transfer method for C60x is easier. Good luck |
Tis true!
