Hi,
After losing my EDGE 705 with bought Austria Topo V2 on own MicroSD (transferred from DVD via Mapsource to a 2Gb micro sd, not original map on sd card), i bought a new 705 and tried to do the same again - putting the map via Mapsource back on a new MicroSd. On Mapsource, the map is unlocked. But the EDGE tells me that the map is not unlocked. After making inquiries, I learned that even after losing the device or in case of damage, it is only one licence (apart from he co-delivered Sd card with the map on it, which i do not want to use as i want to have extra space on the SD Card) I purchased and this is linked to the serial number of the old EDGE device. So although i have got the original DVD which i bought for quite some money, i cannot use this anymore as it is locked to the serial number of the garmin i lost. So ..bad luck.
I wonder in which (other) way i can use my legimite purchased map from DVD already installed and unlocked on my computer with the new Edge and would be grateful for a way out of this annoying situation. I have no real experience with the unlocker but am willing to deal with it, if necessary. But even so i cannot figure out an sensible way to do this, as unlocker's work, i.e. unlocing the map in mapsource, is not necessary. The problem is to get aroung the serial number of the old garmin device.
Thanks
Dondonaldo
