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.

Backroad Maps,

I have a 60cx and a 2595lmt, would these maps work with these two?

Bryan,

➡️ REPLY TO Ken Guenter:

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.

Backroad Maps,

What is meant by limited compatibility for Garmin GPS Map 60CSx

Ken Guenter,

➡️ REPLY TO Harder Gregory W:
No, our Garmin-licensed GPS Maps only work on Garmin devices, but we have an app for mobile devices that can be used on other car navigation systems with Apple CarPlay or Android Auto! You can download the app by searching for "BRMB Maps” on the App Store or by visiting https://www.brmbmaps.com/pricing

Reply to Ray: We offer different SD card sizes if you need extra space for your tracks, waypoints and photos. Our GPS Maps take up to 2GB of space on the SD card.
