Loading Maps to a Garmin 60CSX using Garmin Basecamp

#1
Loading The Maps With BaseCamp on a PC

  1. Open Garmin BaseCamp (all screenshots from version 2.0.9)
    Note: You'll need version 2.0.9 or higher to load custom maps.
  2. Plug in the device you would like to load the maps to (a microSD card, SD card, or the actual GPS unit)
    For this tutorial I will be using a Garmin Dakota 20 with memory card installed in the GPS; using a card reader will allow for faster map installs.
  3. The device/card should appear on the left side as shown:

  4. Right click on either the card or device and select "Install Maps"
  5. MapInstall should now be running; click Next
  6. Select the map you want to load at the bottom:

  7. Now highlight the segments you want to load (this can be the entire map) to the unit/card by dragging a selection box around the map displayed in the preview pane. Selected segments will turn pink.
  8. Now at the bottom select another map that you want to load to the GPS. Repeart step 7 for all the maps you want to load.
  9. Once you have finished selected all the maps you want to load hit next.
    Note: Each time you load maps to the GPS it will erase all maps on the GPS except for the basemap (Navigation map on the Nuvi).
  10. Press "Finish" and it will build your maps and transfer them to your card/unit.
  11. You will get a success message at the end similar to: “The data has been successfully sent”
