GPS60CSx problem

GarminHidden files left behind by Apple’s OS X are giving problems with the GPS 60CSx shutdown. Here the solution to fix the problem

Garmin GPS 60CSx users may experience problems after the shutdown of the device. The device will produce a constant beep sound.

The problems exists for users using Apple computers running with OS X. In most cases the operating system leaves hidden files on any storage device (cards included). These hidden files are the cause of the problems.

To solve the issue:

  1. open up Terminal
  2. find the name of your card under /Volumes using the ls /Volumes listing the various volumes which are mounted – you need the name of the volume one which is your card e.g. GPSMAPS60CSX
  3. next enter sync; rm -rf /Volumes/GPSMAPS60CSX/.* which synchronizes the file system and removes the offending files and folders. You probably will get an error message, but don’t worry about that and ignore the messages
  4. next enter sync; sudo umount -f /Volumes/GPSMAPS60CSX to synchronize again and unmount the volume. You will need the administrator password for your computer

Now you can use the card without the shutdown problems.
