Load it, upgrade it and download your registration codes. Quote Link to comment
+jon & miki Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 Garmin's locked products are locked to the GPS, not the PC. That is, your unlock code will unlock maps for a particular GPS, and you should be able to install Mapsource and the mapsets on any PC you have access to in order to download specific maps from the mapset to the "licensed" GPS. Now if you want to download the maps to more than one GPS or change which GPS the mapset is unlocked for, that's a different problem.... Quote Link to comment

aussiejeeper Posted June 22, 2006 Author Share Posted June 22, 2006 would it ever erase the base map Quote Link to comment
+EraSeek Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 No. It will erase the original POI's that are preloaded in, but it will never erase the base map. Quote Link to comment
