+hunting101 Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 Ok, here is my question. If I buy the Garmin 18 with City Select v.7, does it come the 2 unlock codes and if it does, can I use one of them on my Vista c? (found some good deals on the Garmin 18 with software) Hunting101 nashville, TN Quote Link to comment

+ATLnative Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 Yes, you can use the 2nd unlock code on your Vista C. I purchased the GPS-18, and have successfully used the second unlock code on my 60Cx. Quote Link to comment

+Sputnik 57 Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 Note that if you buy the 18, the City Select software comes unlocked for the 18, so you can only load maps to one other GPSr. You can't toss the 18 in a drawer and unlock the software for two other receivers. But yes, you can use if for the 18 and your Vista C. Quote Link to comment
+hunting101 Posted March 3, 2006 Author Share Posted March 3, 2006 That was my plan. It is getting harder and harder to find City Select v.7 and when you can find it they are asking big $$$ (they are going for around $120.00 on ebay with just 1 code). There are some good deals out there for the Garmin 18 with CS software. I use my Vista C as my receiver now with my laptop and it works great. If anybody knows where I can get CS v.7 for around $90.00 please post. Thanks again and happy hunting Hunting101 Nashville, TN Quote Link to comment
+Fred Flintstone Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 I had asked the same question about a month ago. I had spoke with garmins tech support and was told as long as I didn't install the gps 18 that I would have 2 unlock codes. Well, he was wrong. I called garmin back and they did verify that I was told that. Garmin removed my gps 18 from their data base and installed both of my 60 csx serial numbers so I could load the maps to my GPSs. Then I plugged my gps 18 in and it still worked. I loaded the mapsource and nroute software on a second computer, used the unlock information from garmin's website and my gps 18 still worked. I have come to the conclusion that the 18 doesn't need an unlock code to work in NRoute. I also have another garmin user that I cache with and I plug my 18 in and his CS and NRoute recognise the GPS 18. The GPS 18 is a great receiver for the price. Quote Link to comment
Vlad Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 usually what they do in these cases is give you an additional unlock code for free. that's probably why your gps18 still works. Quote Link to comment
+Fred Flintstone Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 If that was the case then when I retrieve my codes from Garmin's web site the codes would show up. The only codes that show up is for my two 60 Csx units Quote Link to comment
