Original question asked on Dec 10, 2011, 1:14pm

Am trying to decide which to buy for my GSPMap 60Cx, City Navigator NT DVD or SD Card.
If I buy dvd, I can get updates? Yes?
Can I put all of dvd map info onto an SD card? If so what size will I
need?
Can I put new updates onto SD Card over old map info?
How much are updates?
If I buy SD Card, how long before it is outdated? IE how many times a year does Garmin send out updates?
I am not concerned about using maps on multiple devices. SD card would be easier to use, but can I make my own?
Thanks
Mike

You can only get updates on the DVD and it should fit on a 4Gb card with extra left over.

SD card are not update able. A SD card would be out dated in a few months for Garmin comes out with an update every three months.

Here is a link to the update subscription for the DVD.
