I had to send my map76CS back to Garmin due to a rocker key malfunction. They sent me a new unit (different serial number). I later loaded some City Select North America v7 into the new unit. I recall it took me a while to figure out that I had to use the unlock code. So, I guess I used my second unlock - right?
Sounds like I need to get back in touch with Garmin concerning this matter to be sure I can use my City Select North America v7 in another unit if I choose to do so.
BTW, how does the updating work on City Select? On the Garmin web site it implies that I could update the maps for $50 sometime in the future. I see that I would have to use my unlock code, but exactly what comes with an update?

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
