Attention all !!!

Added a Map Signature into current version 8.0 of MPC: Digital signature is designed to detect attempts to remove locking structures from the maps. Map signature will require an internet connection during map build to contact the Garmin signature service, and insert the signature into the map. V8.0 allows you to now build products with the signature - device support is still ongoing – release TBD.

The Map Signature dialog allows the user to configure options for digitally signing the map data. Digitally signing the map data requires a connection to Garmin's map signature server, and so the option should not be enabled if external Internet access is not available.

The Enable Map Signature checkbox enables digitally signing the map.

The Username field is the username that will be used to log into the map signature server. This username should be the same as the one that is used for the unlock service.

The Password field is the password that will be used to log into the map signature server. As with the username, this password should be the same as the one that is used for the unlock service.

The Save For Future Builds checkbox will, when checked, cause the specified username and password to be stored in the MapSource Product Configuration (.mpc) file when saving the product. The fields will not be stored in plain text, but they would be recoverable by a sophisticated user. Therefore, this option should not be used when the .mpc file will be sent to untrusted sources. In this case, the username and password should be entered each time the product configuration file is opened.
