Chek, first try a different SD card


Thanks, SilverBeauty, I forgot to mention that I have also used another card, re-formatted it and results are the same. Funny thing is if no card is inserted, the set is fine.

Initially everything was fine until I connected the set to the Garmin Webupdater and before connection was established, I deleted the POI folder on the card and somehow the set hung and after restarting, this beeping problem starts. As I am using Mac, thought some hidden Mac files on the card could have caused the problem and thus had also deleted them using a Windows system. :cry:

Hi guys, problem finally solved - it was due to the Mac hidden files created on the card when a Mac is used. Simply delete these files on a Windows system and the 60Csx is as good as new. :D

Also found the following from GPSFAQs.org which confirmed the issue:

"This family of products (60Csx) contains a defect in the shutodown code that seems to be intermittently triggerd by mounting the product or its SD card on a Mac or Linux system. The presence of files starting with a dot on the GPS seems to cause it to crash when shutting down."

Fortunately, the newer GPS are not affected by these hidden files created and I have been using a Mac to update map files on my 760 and lately, the 2465 and have not encountered any problem. O:)

:tq: Bro Chek,

Good info.

Unfortunately in this world today when dealing with equipment or software with a legacy trail, it is less problematic not to use a MAC.

Check with ebay and see if there are Dummy Cases for sale. You might be able to salvage parts for it.

It appears to me that this does not look like a load-bearing part but more like a protective casing.

If I am right, as long as you have all the broken bits, while it is ideal if you can buy a replacement but as a last resort, the bits can easily be reattached with cyanoacrylate adhesive (superglue)
