You need to have an unlock code from Garmin for your GPS to use the other maps on it. You'll need to contact Garmin to get an unlock code, if they offer your friend a second code on the same product. Some of their maps they give 2 unit unlocks and some only get 1 unit. The mapset file that is created on the SD card from Mapsource is coded specifically to only work on the serial number of the device it was unlocked for. EDIT: If you have a Garmin labeled SD card, those are not tied to any serial number. You are free to move them from device to device. Last edited by Andy; 11-08-2009 at 11:18 PM. |

You will need an unlock code from Garmin to view your maps. You then go into your Settings to tell the GPS which set of maps you want to view.
