This is exactly why I don't use debit cards when buying stuff. pretty much
ever. If you're waiting for money to be refunded, it might as well be
MC/Visa/Discover or AmEx, whoever's money. not mine.

Mike,
Where were you about 3 hours ago to tell me this. The money was refunded
back to paypal who refunded it back to the CC, I incorrectly assumed it
would go back as a paypal accoung balance and I could add some to it and be
cool. But since it went back to the CC it'll be a week or so at least
before the $ shows back up. I ended up ordering one from getwetfeet.com
with the autonavigation kit, of course they are expecting thier shipment to
arrive thursday and to ship out friday since they are out of stock. I'd
call and cancel it but the $$ is already cooming out of my checking account
via paypal and I can' wait to have it credited back to order from somewhere
else. At this point the whole thing has been one big mess. Kinda like when
best buy was stupid about a flat screen lcd panel monitor and I finally
decided it was fate saying I didn't need the new toy and I didn't get it.
But I will get a 60CS in the long run.

If you get a refund, try TVNAV.COM. Their website is nothing fancy nor do
they have a huge place. They are located right down the street from Garmin
and have been my favorite spot. Shipping is less than 4 days and they are
real easy to deal with. If you call and order, they will be straight forward
with you.

I can't make it Thursday night since I have an organizational behavior test
and review for my corporate finance final. However I do totally understand
what you are saying now. I have a mapsource program that I have used for my
etrex Vista that incorporates my topo and metroguide maps. So the lightbulb
has gone off, when I installed my metroguide it automatically installed a
mapsource program and I didn't even think of that when Mapsource was
mentioned in relationship to this. I also did some reading this morning on
the groundspeak forum and saw where people were using the various programs
including GSAK and EassyMPS to send to Mapsource then the 60CS so I think I
have it all figured out now.
On another note though.........of course after figuring it all out I found
out the place I ordered from is on backorder (their website said in stock or
I wouldn't have ordered it). I'm waiting to here if they will refund the
money back to my paypal account, if so then I'm going to go order it from
getfeetwet.com with the autonavigation kit. I know they are on backorder
there as well (same expected arrival date as the other place) but it is a
better value with the nav kit. Hope to hear from them today.

P.S.
It is also easier to see than explain over email. This will be demonstrated

I am using the 5.4 version of MapSource. The version that came with my 60cs
was 5.0 I believe. I upgraded from the Garmin site to the 5.4. I did not
know about the 6.0 version coming out. I had a tough time getting the 60cs
to communicate with the computer finally found the setting and everything is
ok. Of course must use EasyMPS to convert to the appropriate format!
