I recently bought a City Navigator UK&Ireland map on a micro SD card for use in my shiny new GPSMAP 60CSX. Dropped it in to its slot and it all works OK.
However I don't seem to be able to back it up - i.e. back up the map data on the SD card
My previous experience has been with Garmin MapSource on DVD and a GPS Map 76S. Transferring maps as required within the limitations of the on board memory to my GPSMap76. So whatever happens to the 76 I would still have the Map Source DVD.
However whatever I have tried in terms of moving the data from the Garmin card to another micro SD card/my PC hardrive etc I get the same message when I try to use the "copied" card in my 60 CSX
"Cannot unlock map"
Am I missing something? (It's copy protected?)
Unless there this something I don't know about the Garmin supplied cards it would be very easy for me to delete the map data on it.
And at £70 a time that’s not something I want to do.
Thanks
Roger

I am sure someone will correct me if I am wrong, but as I understand it, Garmin are using the copy protection thats available on SD cards. I am asuming this as when I put my 2 SD cards in my 60CSX I didnt have to go through the same process coupling the software to the device. In fact it's possible to use the same card in different devices. That would make sense in not being able to copy the card.
