just bought a gps

Ask all the questions you need. No such thing as a stupid qustion..only stupid answers.
 

thanks for all the help just down loaded a program looks easy I guess I will now order the cable cig plug and ram mount I just wanted to make sure I wnated to keep the unit before I ordered that stuff

fyi gps city seems to have the best prices for that stuff
 
ok so I ordered all the stuff needed to mount on the sled thats all done and have the data cable loaded easy gps on computer tried to load a free nh trail map from backwoods would not work was able to down load free shared tracks from redline but my unit only has room for 20 tracks then its full which is not much for tracks.need to know were can i get the best maps for nh and Maine I figure my unit does not have enough memory to make my own tracks just set waypoints not to sure of any of this so any help would be a great help Jeff
 
I just purchased a 60csx as well. Can it be powered off the same line (via "y" rca connector) as the electric shield power, which is wired (with a resetting fuse) to the battery? Thanks for your advice.
 
It should work...you'd have to fab up a cable of your own though...I don't think there is one out there that would work.

I find it's better to hook it direct to the battery so that there is constant power. Hooking it up to the accessory 12v adapter doesn't provide this. This causes hiccups with track mapping on the Gps as it's wanting to shut off/on when the ignition is turned off/on.
 
Is the power output from the heated sheild the same as the GPS? Careful Im with Grimm, I have mine hardwired the the battery with a switch so I can turn off the sled but have the GPS on. The input for my GPS is not 12V as there is a inline converter. I buddy smoked his GPS by improper hook up.
 
The 60CSX will work direct wired to the sleds battery. I have had mine like it for 2 seasons and no issues. Just buy the pigtail plug on ebay for the GPS. I think I got mine for 3.00
 
I went to radio shack bought a accesory plug with a cover for $8 wired it to the battery not a problem at all traded the nytro in on an etec did the same thing not a problem on either sled I did find the lithum batteries as back up are a must last a lot longer like the whole season instead of a day as i unplug the unit and leave it on when i am not with the sled

enjoy and have a great season
 
Looking to run a line from the battery to the gps unit. Thats what I have done with my heated shield with no problems. Is that what most of you guys have done? What Pigtail plug are you referring too? Something I can get at Radioshack?

Also, a mount. What RAM mount do you suggest? Hoping I can have it on the Attak's handle bar. Thanks for your advice.
