[Az-Geocaching] Just wondering.................

Absolutely.  I run several different mapsets on my 60Cx.  You just need to
go to the map screen and make changes to unselect one mapset so another can
be selected and visible.  It takes moments, and you're done.

The one thing you need to do though is select the tiles in MapSource for one
mapset, then pick another mapset and select tiles again.  This will build
the data to be transferred, but there is a total tiles limit that will often
become a problem well before you hit the 2GB limit that Garmin units are
supposed to handle.  On that note, a friend threw a 4GB card into his, and
it worked.  I believe 2GB is the limit for map data, with the other being
available for tracks/waypoints, etc...

I have a question about this...is it possible to use this along with the
roadmaps?  I have MetroGuide v5, but would be willing to use something else
(it's old, anyway).  Basically what I want is to be able to use roadmaps to
drive to the cache, and then the topo maps for the hiking piece of it.  I'm
sure I'm not the first person to want this, I'm just not sure how to go
about it.  So far I just use the roadmap and then the compass, but I have
had situations where I ended up trying to walk straight across a deep gorge,
for example.

I have a Garmin 60CSX.
