Mapsend Software On 2 Gpsr's

[Preda8or]

I have 2 explorist 600's the first one loads fine but when I try to load my maps on the new one I get a map security error message and was wondering if anyone knew what it is and how to fix it? I tried to call magellan but can't get anyone on the phone.

You should have no problems putting maps on two different GPSs with one piece of software.

 

What you're forgetting to do (or doing incorrectly) is entering the second GPS serial number when loading a new map. You can't use the same serial number for both.

Be aware that if you change the serial number to a second (or third) GPSr, that you can make a change in the serial number in MapSend something like 4 times before it stops allowing changes. If necessary, re-installing the software sets the counter back to zero.

are you loading the same info to both units? If so, wh ynot just copy the files to the unit using windows explorer. The 600 should show up as a removable drive.

This won't work since the copyright protection will detect that the map created for GPS A has been installed on GPS B and will not load it in GPS B. That's what the serial number is for.

 

Officially, Magellan Mapsend software is licensed per GPS not per user so it is supposed to be for 1 GPS only. Not all of us agree with that by the way, especially when we own more than 1 GPS.

DRM has no valid use for consumers. its only purpose is to make your life miserable.

 

there is a way to get the maps WITHOUT security but I have not figured out how to do it yet Something to do with some program called MMO

 

personally it should be illegal for them to hardware lock software like that. I am the kind of person who likes having TWO of things for backup purposes and it would really annoy me if my GPS failed on a trip and I could not just pop my SD card into my backup GPS and keep on going :-) grrr :-)

 

Eventually they will learn and they will stop using DRM and thankfully that HAVE made it so that you can reinstall the software and reset the counter.

Here we go again, are you really all the determind everyone that you do not know what you are talking about.

An wouldn't you alreasy have an SD card loaded and ready in your second GPS, the SD cards are not expensive.

Eventually they will learn and they will stop using DRM and thankfully that HAVE made it so that you can reinstall the software and reset the counter.

Just keep dreaming.

With all the time you are spending in the forums complaining that the world does not revolve around your perception of what the world should be, you could be reading the manuel for your explorsit xl and learning how to use it.

 

Many people have tried to answere your questions, but you just are not paying attention to what they have said.

 

try to explain things to you is like trying to talk to a brick.

If you do not want opinions of other people, I would would suggest that you do not post anything in the forums

Having reaed up on MMO, I do not you would be able to follow the directions, you have alread demonstrated that you have problems reading product discriptions.

DRM is well protected, I was even not able to make a working copy of the CD's for my own use (which is not illegal).

 

Here's a few ideas:

 

1. use a different computer for each GPSr. Don't you have an old PC somewhere in your basement? I use an old 1998 laptop w/ AMD K6-2 330Mhz cpu; it's slow but it works with DRM.

 

2. I have not tried this one but it should work too. Install a virtual PC on your PC, it's like having 2 PCs in one. There are a few free virtual PC's softwares available (check on ZDnet or downloads.com), you can even run different OS's on the same machine.

 

good luck.

Just use 2 different computers and then use a hex editor. Wala! And you dont even need to have the CD to use it
