Re: MapSource unlocks - the final straw...

We have discussed this before but selling the unit with the maps doesn't
always work.

I have a GPSMap 176 with Bluechart and Chesapeake Bay unlocked. What do
you think my chances are of finding a buyer with this specific need?

This is a risk of having specialized map sets. Yes, it sucks and its
not ideal by any stretch of the imagination, but short of Garmin requiring
your software to "phone home for authorization" every time you load a
mapset, there's no feasible way to de-authorize a device.

Again, the grass isn't greener anywhere else.
