Re: Getting Fed Up With MapSource Unlock

Hey, folks! I recently sold a Garmin GPSmap 76CS and Vista C to purchase
a new GPSmap 76CSx.

I have North American City Select (v6) licensed to both units, but now
that I do not own them anymore, I want to get the licensing transferred
over to the new gps. Garmin, however, won't cooperate with me,
essentially saying I'm "stuck with the unlock codes for the other two
units for life."

I've received email and phone support to no avail. I was given the reason
that Garmin has to pay a fee to NAVTEQ each time an unlock code is
generated.

If anyone has found a legal work-around for this issue, I'd appreciate
hearing it.

Please do not respond buy telling me to buy another unlock code. I've
already purchased two, City Select is being discontinued, and I'm waiting
for City Navigator 8 to come out, anyway, so if I by anything new, I'll
wait for that.

Thanks in advance,
Respectfully,
Stephen

Editor's Note: Sorry for the typos ;). It seems my "buys" are getting a
mixed up with my "by's."

I apologize for the inconvenience.
