    Default Garmin 60CSx Whiz

    Garmin 60CSx Whiz



    Hi Guys,
    Here's an all in one program that combines some of my previous efforts
    into a single polished program.
    This will allow you to add custom intro screens, icons, and USB graphic
    to the Garmin 60CSx GPS.

    Example images with the correct colour palette are supplied in the program package.
    Please read program instructions before use.



    Download links:




    Enjoy
    Cheers, Art.

    For Topographic detail, OzTopo V2.1 is here:


    For street detail, City Navigator NT 2009 is here:


    City Navigator NT products are compressed, and play up on my 60CSx when routing through
    dense suburbs, so you may want to try the plain City Navigator 2008, only you'll need
    to use a torrent client to download this one:

    No, it has different firmware, the images would be at different offsets.
    My program would kick you out for incorrect firmware version error.

    Interesting though. I've never seen one till I searched just then.
    Firmware for it isn't on the Aus Garmin update page... must be American.

    Shame you got the marine maps on a card.
    You'll be having to swap cards for street/hiking and marine use.

    There is a CD version of bluechart floating about here too.
    It might be of use so you can fit it all on one micro SD.
    It is possible to fit CN, oztopo and most of bluechart on a 2Gb card
    all at once.
