[GeoStL] Re: Garmin 60CS

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 at 
the training Thursday night

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!
