Garmin mapinstall no unlocked maps serial#

To be safe I removed and re-formatted the card then re-inserted it. I decided I'd try installing the maps (CNNA 2012.4) to the device itself and not the microSD. Why is this so unintuitive, especially when I've done it before? Guess I'll hav eto wait until Monday until Tech Support is back at work, unless someone else here comes up with a suggestion.Įver the masochist, I gave this another go this morning. To add further confusion, the unlock code I got from Garmin Tech Support is too long for the product key field.

The unit ID then does not jive with the unit serial number. But if I select the microSD card (where the maps are) from the drop-down menu, it changes the unit ID. They do if I select Garmin Montana as the 'device'.

The online unlock demands unit ID and serial number, as well as product code.

Well, I tried again, but I'm no further ahead than I was before. Guess I'd better try that agin, seeing as I loaded the maps to the microSD card. It wouldn't work with the microSD card, so I tried the Montana in there. Huh? That said, in the online unlock page, I had the option of selecting the Montana, or the microSD card, in the 'find device' field. It then said I had successfully unlocked the maps on my device, but when I ejected the GPS then powered it up, it said that it could not unlock the maps. I tried again, leaving the product key field blank. I also entered the product key (unlock code) in the appropriate field. It too k me to a Garmin site where it 'found' the GPS and automatically entered the unit ID in a field and I had to enter the serial number. I tried the online map unlock through Basecamp, with GPS connected of course.
