+TeamK-9 Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 I'm having a bit of trouble unlocking the CityNavigator maps on my dad's new GPS. I used the wizard, and followed all the instructions. After that I loaded my state onto the GPS, and yet, it says "Can't Unlock Maps" when I turn it on. Does it need synced with the computer somehow, and if so, how do I do that? Quote Link to comment
+GOT GPS? Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 Should call Garmin on this one. Something is not set up right, and I don't know which GPS that is. Quote Link to comment

+GOT GPS? Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 (edited) Check your email to see if your 25 digit unlock code matches, and also go to www.garmin.com to see if they got the correct GPS serial number, that should be listed on the UNLOCK account for that GPS. Garmin May need the info on the CN version number, the GPS model, Serial Number, and the 25 digit unlock code, that shows in Mapsource. Garmin 1-800-800-1020 Edited December 30, 2005 by GOT GPS?

+Les Nomades Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 (edited) Once I had trouble trying to unlock with the unlock wisard. I went on Garmin's webpage and followed the instructions from there to get the unlock code. On the web site, click on Mapsource unlock if your problem is getting the code.

+TeamK-9 Posted December 30, 2005 Author Share Posted December 30, 2005 Well, it seems my dad had started it, and when it didn't work the way he wanted it to, he gave up and handed it to me. He had used the certificate to have the unlock code mailed to him. He didn't type in the unlock code. After fiddling around, I managed to reupload the maps and it's working now. We just took a ride around town and enjoyed having it route us back to the house. Sadly, I think I know more about his GPS now after playing with it for twenty minutes than he may ever know. Thanks for the help, I probably should have played around a bit more before asking. Quote Link to comment
+TBK Posted December 31, 2005 Share Posted December 31, 2005 I dorked up my CS6 and CS7 installations several times until I got a handle on what they were doing, so it doesn't appear you can lock yourself out. Glad you got it. It's not a user friendly process for sure but I am impressed with the content and details. Quote Link to comment
