I bump this thread, would be interesting to know this, how to make unlocked map that work for all devices regardless of unit id.

/micked

edit:

after some more googeling I found this:

Adding more Unlock Codes (situation where you want to use a single GMAPSUPP.IMG for all your devices):

1. Run GMaptool, Add file(s) to insert new Unlock Codes. Files will be listed accordingly. Select the map you need to add unlock codes.
2. Click "Write" tab, tick "Insert unlock code" and enter 25-digit Unlock Codes (only 25-digit/1 set Unlock Codes allowed at a time).
3. Click "Write" button below to execute command.
4. Note: If you have a few sets of Unlock Codes, you can create a UNL file (with all Unlock Codes in 1 line), and use it to combine with your map using "Join" function.

I give this a try.

How to patch unlock any Garmin mapset

Require:
1. Gmaptool (gmt.exe) put in c:
2. GarminUnlocker.exe put in c:

Solution:
1. Split mapset into minor maps.
2. Patch unlock every minor maps.
3. Combine minor maps back to mapset (gmapsupp.img).
You can create new combined mapset name.
You can use new FID,PID for combined mapset.

Batch Commands:

# Copy your mapsets as path below.
c:\Garmin\TSM-TH\gmapsupp.img

# Make sub folder.
md c:\Garmin\TSM-TH\s

# Split mapset into minor maps.
gmt.exe -s -o c:\Garmin\TSM-TH\s c:\Garmin\TSM-TH\gmapsupp.img

# Delete unuse files.
del /q c:\Garmin\TSM-TH\s\*.mps c:\Garmin\TSM-TH\s\*.unl

# Patch unlock every minor maps.
GarminUnlocker.exe imgset c:\Garmin\TSM-TH\s

# Combine minor maps back to mapset (gmapsupp.img) with new name and new FID,PID.
gmt.exe -j -o c:\Garmin\TSM-TH\gmapsupp.img -m "Europe 2010.20 Unlocked" -f 555,1 c:\Garmin\TSM-TH\s\*.*

# See detail of new mapset (gmapsupp.img).
gmt.exe -iv c:\Garmin\TSM-TH\gmapsupp.img

Notes:
1. New FID value will not affect all inside minor maps. These mean you can choose any mapset name and any FID.
2. If your mapset have the Type (.typ) file or Transparent POI map (*.img), you have to use the real FID.
Gmaptool can't know the FID inside the Type (.typ) file and Transparent POI maps (.img).
You have to use -f option with a valid number. So we can't fake the FID.
