+casey97 Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 I am looking at buying US TOPO, either new or used. I am also looking at upgrading my Venture Cx to a 60CSx, before the end of the year (before end of $50 off). Does anyone know if there is an activation code for TOPO like other garmin map products? If so would I be able to get two unlocks, one for each GPS? Quote Link to comment
Glenn W Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 No unlock codes needed. Install to your heart's content. Quote Link to comment

+hogrod Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 Both topo US 3.02 and the new version topo US 2008 are fully unlocked. Quote Link to comment
wsmaal Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 No unlock codes are needed for Garmin Topo mapping. For the Garmin European Topo's unlock codes are still needed IMHO. I have two Topo maps running in MapSource on my PC, but I am waiting for my Venture HC (I can't try if uploading without unlock the maps is possible). Quote Link to comment
+kd4crs Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 I just installed Topo 2008 and it did not need an unlock code. Quote Link to comment
+jaxstraww Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 If thats the case anyone have a used CD for sale? Always worry about buying used from PC games. Once aa serial gets banned the disk is no use. With no unlock codes or serials I don't have the worries. Quote Link to comment

Even cheaper if you had a prev version of topo (rebate). I paid over 80 and i thought i had a good bargin. With that low price, used might not be worth it. http://www.amazon.com/Garmin-Topo-Us-2008-...9039&sr=8-1 --danny Quote Link to comment
+jaxstraww Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 Bought it. Thanks. Now that I'm still spending money what street maps do I need. I see version 6 and version 8? I guess the basemaps doen't get street level detail? Quote Link to comment

I think that they're needed for unlock Garmin maps for the GPS. I am waiting for my ordered eTrex, so I can't try if I can send data from Mapsource (I loaded "temporary" two European countries) to the GPS device. Quote Link to comment
