Maybe not.

 

MapSource is the general program and you add things like CitySelect,
MetroGuide, USA Topo, to it.  CitySelect and MetroGuide  both use MapSource.
They are like a plug in for MapSource.

I may have just found the answer to my own question.  I didn't relize that
some mapsource software came with the 60CS for waypoint management.

Mapsource?  are you talking about the "city select" version?  I have
Metroguide V5 for my vista, I know I can use these maps for viewing but not
for autorouting on the 60CS.  If city select 6 is coming out soon then I'll
hold off on getting it since I was planning on buying city select 5 in the
next couple weeks.  I'm hoping TigerGPS didn't sell out over the weekend and
their page not be updated since it said they were in stock, I really want to
be able to take it and play while heading up to LaBelle mothers day weekend.

That is what I am using too.

 

There is a beta for MapSource version 6 that uses a new format.  EasyMPS
will not work with the new version, but it will be soon updated to work with
the new version of MapSource.  So dont update to version 6 until he gets
EasyMPS updated.

Sara,

As you know, I have a 60cs.  I use EasyMPS and MapSource with the usb cable
that came with the unit.  Works great!
