    Question Reclaim maps from bricked device

    Hi.
    I have a bricked device with som original garmin maps. I would very much like to not have to purchase these again, so I figured I could use gimgunlock 0.04 to unlock them. The didn't work. So I figured I could take the now unlocked maps and split them with gmap tool. Same problem - the gps (alpha 100) said it couldn't unlock the map. So I tried gimgunlock on all the img files it was split into, but it didn't find anything to unlock.

    Anyone got any good tips on how I can achieve this? I'm not looking to pirate anything - just not having to buy the maps again. I'm perfectly happy with my old, not updated maps.

    Unfortunately this is still against this forum rules to help you as Garmin states maps cannot be transferred to another device. Your Alpha 100 also has firmware that does not recognize maps even if you have tried gimgunlock.

    Ok, thanks.

    Unfortunately, my products fall under "Any map product that is discontinued or no longer available for purchase or download (ex. some regional countries mapping) cannot be transferred to an exchanged device."

    Well, that's exactly it - the device is no longer covered by map updates. You have to pay for every new edition.

    Or, to find a "free" solution, but not on this Forum
    Before asking a question, know it's already discussed here and at 99.9% is not unique. Use search.

    Many questions become very arduous, a lot of time chewed deja vu...Since we have lost all the year of work and effort, many people have no will to answer the same questions again. Me neither. Use a search, please.
