Good day,

Using MapSource, I downloaded maps to my Garmin 60CS without any problems. I
used up about 20 Megs of the 56 available. I am now asking myself how to
"remove" those maps from the unit. Say I am going in another part of the
country and want to upload maps for that area. I might need to free up
memory to be able to do so. The instructions are quite clear and easy on how
to add maps, but how do we remove already installed additional maps and come
back to the manufacturer installed basemaps?

Thanks for your help,

Raymond Paquin

When you transfer maps from Mapsource to your 60CS the first thing that
occurs is that all maps currently in the unit will be erased. Then the maps
are downloaded from Mapsource. You cannot remove maps from the unit.

When I want to change my maps I first upload my mapset from the GPS. Then I
do the necessary changes and download the maps to the GPS unit.

As the last message said, when you upload a new mapset it replaces the
old one completely.

So .. you cannot add to the maps now in the 60CS, but must replace them
with a new set.

You can store the set in you PC and then modify it there using Mapsource.
