How to make a locked map?

**maurysade** · 10th July 2010, 02:06 AM

Does anybody know how to make a locked maps for Garmin Gps?

I want to produce my own map by creating .img files and give it to some friends, but I dont want that they redistribute it.

I know how to create .img files but i want to lock them.

Can anybody tell me where I can find a tutorial about it or which software do I need?

Thanks

Maury

Hi Catymag

Thanks by the information.
I totally agree with you when you talk about selling maps. Belive me, the idea it's not to sell them. The reason is that I just dont want this map in wrong hands, because it pass inside private property. I use gps for tracks by motorcycle. I just want to prevent the spread out of this map.

Thanks again.

Hi Catymag

I have done a lot of tests trying to lock my own map but unsuccessfully. I have searched on internet but I didnt find any help.
Can you give me a clue?? Please?

Belive me, my goal is not to sell maps, just keep my tracks safe among some friends.
If you think that its not good idea to share in forum, can you send me in private?

Thanks in advance

Maury
