Garmin Ends CD-ROM Chart Updates

Vote 0 Votes

On page 5 of Practical Sailor it says that Garmin CD ROM Chart Updates have ended.

Ouch? The Garmin 60C and GPSMAP 76CS maps cannot be updated, or is there some work around with other cartography? In addition to these almost like new handhelds being my backup (all three gps, route, and way points) they have been ideal when I charter boats that have no charplotters.

1) Some work around, perhaps also works with Garmin MapSource ?

2) Does Garmin offer free upgrade to the last version of now outdated cartography, so the 60C and 76CS is useful for some considerable additional period of time ?
