I have a Garmin 2720 that has ver 8 maps and is completely registered. No problem.

But I also have a 2820 with ver 8 maps, and this unit is NOT registered. I just realized that I have carelessly lost the yellow coupon with the registration number on it.
Stupid!!!


If I order a 2008 "update" disc with unused unlock codes, will I be able to update both of my units? Or will there be an issue with the 2820 that is not registered with Garmin?

TIA for your time.


Please advise,

Just an update...

I called Garmin and they gave me my registration number, so now both of my units are registered. Yippee.

Also as an FYI: Garmin no longer allows one disc to update two units.

WOW, they really don't permit you the 2 unit rule anymore huh? Darn them!!

That is what I was going to say when I read your other post but never made it back to check my v8 maps to confirm, glad I didn't wing it

Also glad to hear you've got the 2820 running well, thats a nice unit.

Hey Max.

Not only did I get my 2820 registered, but Garmin is sending me a free update. Woohoo! But yea...no more sharing updates between 2 units. The good news is that Garmin is letting lots more vendors and retailers sell their updates. There's a couple of guys on eBay selling updates for under $60 to your door. Not too shabby.

BTW, I'm a BMW rider as well. I have an '06 GT. LOVE IT! Headed back out to the leftcoast at the end of April ... can't wait! This snow and ice sucks!

Take care.

I ran in to the 1 disc per unit as well. I wanted to get the update for my 660 and 76CSx but Garmin insists I buy 2 update discs!

Just realized I never replied... test drove a GT, was a really nice ride but I think it would get me in trouble in no time flat. It's just so damn smooth you cant tell when you're cresting the century mark! If I were going cross continent that GT might have gotten my funds though, some really nice creature features there. This is my first beemer though, so I had to get the GS as it's just an icon to me and I've wanted one forever. Now I hope I can keep it forever and only add to the collection from here

Don't get me started on this weather buisness...
