Default Garmin 60 CSX Maps

Gday.
I've got a Garmin 60 csx and I think I read somewhere you can put rooftop maps etc on the micro SD card is this true. Or can I send the map to the GPS and view it on the screen like on the computer with oziexplorer etc?

I hope I havent miss read something as this one of the reasons why I bought it for forbying and hunting
If this can be done How the hell do I do it ha ha?
I have access to oziexplorer and rooftop maps and other maps also.

Some help would be very much apreciated
thanks
Cam.

You can add maps that have the IMG format like Shonkymaps and contour maps. So it you can load them in Mapsource you can load them in your GPS60csx

Upload the maps via Mapsource and it automatically it will be available. Click on the map in mapsource and it should change to pink colour and then zoon out to get all of Australia or region you want. Highlight all the map selection and simply upload to device
