    Default mapsource help

    Okay..is it possible to load both topo and city select to the gpsr?

    If so how do you switch between the two or use the two on the gpsr?

    It is possible and almost easy.

    You have a Legend CX that means you have a data card.

    With the mapsource install tool load the map segments in. Select and then topo. I believe the install tool will load them to different folders.

    With your gps go to the setup menu, then to maps, then to the section that shows map names and then hit the menu key and one of your selections is to hide or change maps. That may not be exactly how the legend does it, but my garmin does it that way. You can toggle between Topo and Select.

    Gobler.... Thanks that works real well.

    Very easy to toggle.... city select... no city select... ah topo..no topo... too bad no topo..doesnt really make the hill go away so you can walk flat. Make mountain hiking much easier.

    If I put stuff on two cards..can I just slip cards in and out?

    Dave thanks the attempted help. I apppreciate it.

    on my legend C, you go into the map setup and menu click to get the show/hide screen.

    Indeed, being able to switch between map products is...sweet.

    Is there any way to check how much memory you have available on the Garmin "x" series? We have a 60csx, and although we've been VERY happy with the amount of data we've been able to put on a 256mb card, it would be interesting to know how much of it we use. I haven't been able to figure out if it is possible.
