Thread: Garmin 60csx

-> kunix,

I go along with your definition(s) and agree with your conclusions. Although the old architecture like the 60csx has clearly its limitations, it does have the advantage that you cannot damage by accident the system's firmware (as it can't be accessed). The newer architecture (e.g. on the Oregon 650) allows Windows to mount the internal flash memory as a separate disk - on which all the system software, apps, drivers, and settings is cluttered with user data, maps and the like. I'm always scared that I make a mistake and turn the 650 into a dead duck. As far as I'm concerned, Garmin might have made the newer systems less vulnerable by putting the system software at least in some "hidden" or otherwise clearly distinct 'system' folder.
