The 60CX is an older model that supports microSD cards, but it has a 256-color display, which might struggle with map rendering. (Not recommended)
The 2595 is compatible with our maps; however, as a vehicle GPS, it may not utilize all the features available in an outdoor handheld device.
I have a 60cx and a 2595lmt, would these maps work with these two?

The Garmin 60csx, introduced in 2006, utilizes older software that may cause unexpected issues when using maps. Unlike newer models, it offers a 256-colour display rather than the modern 65K colour displays and has a limited character count for reading descriptions.
What is meant by limited compatibility for Garmin GPS Map 60CSx
