Until you're post, I've never seen this assertion challenged or seen anyone explain how to (legally) get around this odd restriction.įor now, I'm standing by my previous comments. Also, notice similar experiences by other users. I also know if the info is incorrect, it certainly wasn't a lie, but rather a mistake. I've seen many posts by embra in regards to Magellan products and services, and consider him to be one of the resident Magellan 'gurus' on these boards. Garmin lets you add additional units for what I consider a reasonable license fee.Īdmittedly my statements were based on information that I myself read in other postings, but for now, I'm sticking by it. There appears to be an unofficial workaround for this, but it's cumbersome. I don't know how many units you are buying, but each Explorist will require not only its own copy of a detailed mapping program, but also its own computer to run on.the compass works pretty well, but the other sensors aren't that accurate and most people don't find them very useful.You should look at it, but there are several things that I think would argue against it: If you can find v1.0 of T3D (the version that comes on CD), you can run both GPS units off the same computer.and, for that matter, you can get by with a single copy of the program, although it would be a violation of the EULA.įrom your description of desired features, the Magellan Explorist 600 would seem a likely fit with the 3-axis electronic compass, barometer, and thermometer. I had a father who bought his family of 4 their own GPS/DirectRoute packages note his frustration (note: this is known to be the situation with the newest MapSend DirectRoute, and I *presume* it to be so for T3D, although I must confess I've not heard this verified from anyone yet).


Magellan's one GPS/one computer/one software program copy-protection arrangement is the most adle-brained scheme I've have the misfortune to witness. It's worse than you think.not only two T3Ds, but also two computers. Does this really mean I have to purchase this software two times? For more than I paid for the units? Is there any way around this?

As I was about to install and purchase in small print it says one unit per software. After reading for hours I discover (on this board) that you need Map Send Topo 3D v 1.5 for best results and ease. Just bought my wife and I each an Explorists 500 for Christmas.

We do NOT allow transfer of data when you upgrade your unit." Edited Apby dsshepard If you have already unlocked a particular product (and version) for two different compatible Garmin units you own, then you would go through the procedure of purchasing additional unlock codes. (see ?What if I own more than one Garmin unit compatible with a specific locked MapSource product?). You may unlock up to two units with one coupon code. As long as you have only obtained one unlock code for a given MapSource product and version, then simply follow the procedure a second time and get your second unlock code. What if I upgrade to a new Garmin GPS unit?Ī. You won't be able to transfer the unlock from someone else (or to someone else). I have Mapsource installed on multiple computers for convenience sake, however I only have maps "unlocked" and installed on one 60Csx. Buying a used GPSr will not solve this problem. It is the Maps that are locked, not Mapsource. I THINK you have Mapsource and the maps mixed up here. Else buy CITY SELECT NORTH AMERICA V7 DVD with unused unlock codes off of ebay. Not likely, but could be the same.Ĭ) Spend $75 for two additional unlock codes.ĭ) Ask someone to sell me their second unlock code for something less than $75. Try to load maps to my SD memory card for my IQUE and see if the 76CSX will read the card. (effectively a used unit with UNLOCK code assigned, is more valuable than a new unit) Then buy a used device with unlock code installed.

Should have bought a used 76CSX with the unlock code already installed for CITY SELECT NORTH AMERICA V7 DVD, and saved myself $75.Ī) Send the 76CSX back to the company I bought from for a full refund (WALMART online in my case, so they will do a refund - just eat the cost of shipping).
Garmin expert gps code serial number#
(Looks like unlock code is perminantly linked to the serial number for the unit and maybe your user name and maybe even the original source DVD)ģ) Sold my LEGEND, and effectively sold my unlock code (did not realize that was happening).Ĥ) Bought a 76CSX brand new, but no unlock codes available. 1) Original purchased Garmin IQUE 3600 that includes CITY SELECT NORTH AMERICA V7 DVD with two unlock codes (one for the IQUE and one spare-free)Ģ) Bought a Garmin LEGEND and used my second unlock code.
