Hmmmm, I don't suppose you could provide the original DVDs or proof of purchase for the maps.

Tried it and I can access the tide charts on my venture HC

Id contact garmin, if you have a warranty they should replace it. My 530 gets around 15h.

I would be curious to know what the two other GPS you have. I would agree that the basemap provided should not be used (under 20km). However the Garmin maps I have are accurate detailed and simply excellent. Cant comment on your other receivers having more accurate maps but If compared to City Navigator I suspect there just as accurate/inaccurate.

There is City Navigator China (v6 is the latest version) However I don't believe its available outside of china.

Nice of you to hold a contest.

going to try somthing, PM sent

The service menu can be accessed by pressing enter with the power button on startup. It wont show the card ID though. The only way I can think of to have a copy of a garmin SD card readable on a GPS is to open the .img file and add/edit the unlock code within.

That it is. If I were to download maps, I'd download city navigator and just ask that guy for an unlock rather than the non-routing metrogude.

I looked and I have an update CD you can have for $10.

I would look at getting a Garmin GPS 18 as you can find it with City Select or Navigator for around $100. If the version you receive is not v2008 you'll get two unlocks, with the "primary" unlock getting the free upgrade.

Well there is the minor issue of it being illegal.
