knowing anything about it. You didn't even download it, so how can you
legitimately judge it? Run in in a sandbox for all I care, I'm just trying
to help some people out.

This is especially useful if you have already bought some map products and
want to use them on more than one GPS without paying again.

Not to start the age old thread but..... So, you're a thief and

Have you ever bought a newer map for your Garmin unit ? I have.
Not much was changed. Streets were not added to the new one. These streets
were 9 months old.
Yes, I paid for it. Never again.
I just checked the new 2009 maps and the streets are still not listed. It
still shows me driving in a blank map. Yes I advised Garmin about it last
year.
I wont waste my time doing that again.
Don't get me started about there non-reply to tech support email I sent them
a few weeks ago.

3, but let's not argue the point !
If I needed a key generating, I might be tempted to try it, but only
in a sandbox / virtual machine (as you suggested yourself IIRC)
As it is, I own http://www.garminsuck.com so you can imagine my
feelings about them already.
I'd also like to point out that the likes of MetroWizzz also exists:

But who cares, I now use TomTom :-)

Does that mean you're just not going to ever again upgrade your maps, or
that you plan to steal them in the future?

Bullcrap
Anyone interested can download it to a safe box and run unix "strings"
against it.
If you trust your computers security software, you can also just open it
in spybot Filealayzer.
Perhaps Mr Gneiss Guy can explain the presence of all the HTML spam for
Rapidshare in the file. Wonder if Gneiss Guy knows what gneiss is, or
is the author in the html header Saso Nikolov or just some random idiot
stupid enough to post it here?

Perhaps, but for the current releases, if it works (I have no desire
to try it) it'll make a lot of formerly pissed off customers a little
less resentful against Garmin.
Remember it was Garmin who changed their map update policy and
specifically excluded people who bought a "new" GPS with the old
version of the software, and they refused to allow them to update.
For this reason alone: FUCK GARMIN
The other, my personal gripe, is their map sales policy.

No, you're a fucking thief. In your peabrain though, you don't see it.
You can justify it because you're above everone elses rules and you
should get something just because you want it. Forget having to actually

This is a stupid waste. Besides being illegal, you have to buy map to even

I tried a TomTom before switching to a Garmin. I got sick
and tired of the TomTom telling me to "make a U-turn". It
was particularly annoying because 95% of the time it was
WRONG! And it would -not- eventually figure out that I was
not going to take it's incorrect advice and automatically
adjust it's route.
My Garmin C-330 doesn't have this issue.

Those of you that complain about thievery can maybe answer this
conundrum:
Garmin XT for PDAs is sold by Garmin only on a 2GB micro SD card. They
state on their web site:
"Note: Due to proprietary and security reasons, it is not possible to
transfer your Garmin Mobile XT data to a larger card."
They do not offer it in a larger SD card. So my question is this: If
you purchase the 2GB card and through other means available that
someone has posted on the internet, copy it to a larger SD card, would
that also be stealing?

Read the license agreement. It will spell out your rights and what
you can and can't do with the software. As for your computer, maybe
the support person considered your computer to be a repaired and
upgraded computer and not a new one.

Read the license agreement, it will tell you if you can sell your

I would do that in a heartbeat without having any qualms about the
legality if I were working to meet my personal needs and standards of
satisfaction.
Copying my legally owned version of Garmin XT to a larger card to meet
my personal requirements for storing additional data for Garmin XT or
data for other applications that are sharing the card simply lets me get
on with life. And, to some extent, it compensates for either a lack of
foresight on Garmin's part or some level of technical incompetence in
Garmin's software development.
For Garmin to not understand that it is not realistic for users to want
to allow a single card to occupy the only available expansion memory
slot, and thereby block all further use of expanded memory on the
device, is pretty stupid programming on Garmin's part.
And what would be even stupider would be for Garmin to pursue the
legality of a person doing it they owned a legal copy of Garmin XT. I
mean Garmin has made the profit from the sale, and it costs them nothing
to ignore the fact that people are finding work arounds to counter
Garmin's lack of foresight.
Garmin has a long history of being generally ignorant as to how their
products are actually used and do not seem to base any software fixes or
designs on the needs and desires of their customer base. They develop
their products in a communications vacuum that seems to exclude even the
other components of their own organization. And that sucks!

Which may or may not be legally enforceable over and above the consumers
rights and contract law. Most EULAs are such convoluted legalese that
they basically boil down to not allowing you do anything their lawyers
would prefer you not to do so they can make more profit. Some of it, if
taken to court, would likely end up being classed as unfair terms and
conditions which could conceivable make the whole contract null and void.

IIRC you can legally buy a new, cheaper, OEM MS Windows with a new mouse
so by definition, so long as you keep that same mouse you are "safe", even
against the MS EULA :-)
(For "mouse", replace with bit of hardware of your choice.)
All of the above is based on what I remember of UK consumer protection
laws. It may be different in other jurisdictions.
IANAL and did not research this just for this post but based it what I
remember, which may wrong.
The value of the information may go down as well as up.

And in the UK, at least, that is not a legally enforceable term otherwise
all those shops and internet sites selling "pre-used" software would not
only be out of business, but get raided by the police.
Steve Calvin
Well, that's certainly not true according to Garmin. I had a 76CS when I
bought my 76CSx. I sold my CS to a friend of mine WITH my copy of
mapsource. We calle Garmin, told the rep what we were doing - she said
"no problem, I'll transfer the hardware and software to... xxxxx"
And yes, I bought CN for the 76CSx.
As to the question regarding moving data to a larger micro card. IF you
PAID for the original software and are only using it on the single
intended device then no, I would not consider that theft. If you
give/sell it to someone else or use it on multiple systems, then
obviously yes, it is theft.
I view that in the same light as the topos I bought from Garmin. The doc
says that they have to be used on the CDs. Not true if you know how to
do some simple regedits. So I have them on my harddrive. One copy, one
GPS. Do I view that as theft? No.

Hmmm.... My head was examined just last month, they didn't find

didn't sign the bill into law and I don't enforce the law. All I'm

As for an "SD MAP", I don't think there is any such thing. I know
what a Secure Digital card is and I know what a map is but I've never
heard of an "Secure Digital Map". Where would I find one and what
would it look like?

I bought a new compaq PC for my wife with Vista installed. Since Vista
sucks (IMO) I erased the hard drive and installed XP with no problems.
I believe this is legal since the old PC was scrapped with a wiped hard
drive. I simply transferred XP to the new one. I am still only using the
XP copy with one PC.

In this case, I purchased a used 2610 from a seller on ebay. He
purchased it also on ebay 3 or so years ago with CIty Nav 5. He was
happy with that and never upgraded. Now I bought it from him on ebay
and want to load City Nav 2009. He has no record of who he bought it
from years ago.
Let's assume the best and say it is not stolen, just resold from user
to user.
Now I cannot register and get an unlock code for City Nav 2009.

Rev Bob,
I can think of only two ways to advise you:
1) call Garmin, explain your registration/update problem, have the
*device* registration number ready, and you *may* receive an update at
about $ 75.
2) forget about calling Garmin and buy the full mapping software CN
America 2009 for probably $ 150 (check certified Garmin dealers or
stores for the exact price/discount).
But be advised that CN 2009 has changed - it does no longer come in the
*img-format of previous versions, now it has got the *.gmp format.
Consequently, the new MapSource 6.14.1 installs on your PC, and I know
many - including myself - who are extremely disappointed at its speed
and design.
So, before you make a final decision take into account updating to CN
America 2008.
One final hint: the Streetpilot 2610 is a great device, I'd had it for
three years until I replaced it with the Zumo 550, but your 2610
*cannot* read the NT maps - you need the classic version.
Good luck

Colin Wilson
CN is City Navigator, NT refers to a newer form of compression that
older units can't use.
Michael Jaeger
you are right: CN = City Navigator
NT - New Technology?
There are two versions of CN Europe 2009 on the German market, and some
devices cannot read the NT-version, for example the Garmin StreetPilot
2610. It needs the classic version.

That will not help since in the end the unit needs to be registered
and only then you can unlock the map to the unit. A good way of
hardware theft protection for the customer actually.

Assuming I understand the facts correctly, i.e. unit purchased off of
ebay, then resold to this poster off of ebay and the chain of ownership
is unknown in it's entirety and the transfer to the intermediate owner
was not documented with Garmin, then I suspect that you're right in your
options Michael.
When I sold my 76CS to a friend of mine, (I'd bought it new and of
course registered with Garmin) I called Garmin Support with Marty
present. After some simple verification questions so they knew that it
was actually me and me telling them that I was selling the unit and
software to him, they simply took his information and transfered
everything that I had to him - done, piece of cake - no problem, and no
problem ever since.
Is Garmin touchy regarding licensing? Yep. Should you KNOW THAT going
in? YEP. If you pay attention to what's going on and do your part, will
you have any problems? NOPE. Should you go illegal? NFW.
Colin Wilson
If trying to pay them money for a legit licence doesn't get you the
support you deserve i.e. if the unit hasn't been flagged as stolen,
i'd say it *is* an (the only?) alternative. If trying to go legal is
harder than going illegal, Garmin have a problem.
FWIW i've just dropped the renewal of garminsuck.com but I think you
know my opinion of them.
I bought it in response to Garmin fucking me about over buying maps -
software alone shouldn't cost 50% more than a hardware device you
don't want or need that comes bundled with the same bloody software
you do want.
I ended up buying a bundle because it was cheaper, it still hasn't
been out of the box apart from the software - the cost of the device
and the domain name was cheaper than the software alone. Wankers.
I've said it before, i've moved to TomTom now, but...
Metrowizzz http://www.geodude.nl/community/content/view/19/36/
and
MetroGold http://www.geodude.nl/community/content/view/13/28/
...are probably the easiest and most cost effective way of acquiring
Garmin maps these days.
If Garmin don't want to support customers trying to give them money,
not only have they lost money in the short term, but those customers
will never return.
Holger Issle
>if both of my suggestions may not help the OP, what is it that *you*
>suggest?
Option 1 is key - Garmin needs to transfer ownership to the new owner
(of course only if the unit is not reported as stolen). So you were
right with your option one.
If they don't want to do it in Germany it is your right to modify the
device to enable it to work as designed (please don't ask me for a
legally correct translation). The judge ruling in the case I
remembered included explicitely to crack the copy protection (but it
was a case for an accounting solution, not a GPS).
So, in Germany I would suggest to document the ignorance of Garmin to
transfer ownership in writing (by sending paper mail with a reasonable
time to execute the action and supported by proof of purchase, maybe
sent by your lawyer). With that in mind the keygen (if it exists)
might be a way to go if Garmin doesn't transfer the ownership.
And yes, the Op should have asked to get ownership transfered or the
mygarmin account info with the device at the point of purchase. Still,
it can't be that Garmin is blocking aftermarkets in the hope to sell
more new units.
Colin Wilson
> to sell more new units.
Nah, that'd be too much like the selective map sales they (used to?)
make to increase device sales.
