I guess they want to "sell" the maps to people and get "return clients" when the map expires. Personally, I am against that.
Plus this thread is not the proper place for that discution about maps.

@Superduper67. You wrote that "thread is not the proper place for that discution about maps". However, you commented pretty harshly on my post, so I have to reply in order to clarify my point.
There are different reasons for Garmin map users to generate .unl files with expiry period. wp3gi ' s reason (posted here at noeman) is "JetMouse 1.5 has no way to set an expiration date on the keys it generates so that means that JetMouse cannot be used to generate the Premium Ad-Free Subscription Code."
My personal reason is to make someone who gets maps I made in MPC to go to certain website and get newer version periodically. This is done to remind people that newer and BETTER version of map is available and it can be downloaded at regular location. If someone prefers to use old version he/she can simply apply Garmin Unlocker and forget about the need for .unl files. So I can not see anything wrong in my actions (except for Garmin proprietary rights). Most of us here support idea of free maps and software sharing, so to accuse someone so easily of trying to "sell" maps and "return clients" is pretty harsh.
So you want to sell those maps periodically, via limiting the period of functionality? That's what I said in my statement. I didn't make any accusations, I just stated my personal preference. Since a stock Garmin device will continue to work with obsolete maps, I don't agree with the ideea of crippling somebody's device on purpose.
Nothing personal.
And yes, JetMouse CAN be used to generate Premium Ad-Free Subscription Codes (for TMC).
TMC is always lifetime.
You are talking about expiration date of maps, but the topic is Expiration date of the TMC for USA.
It's not about returning customers, its about that you buy a 1 year subscription for TMC in the states.
Never about maps, which obsolete with maps cause none were ever released with expiration day
You are right, I will make no more posts on this issue in this thread since this issue is off-topic for this thread. However, I am ready to discuss this issue if anyone wants me to. May be I will find applicable thread an post my thoughts there. Thanks for your comments.
Ok !!! Thank You !!!
Hi all,
Have an 885T with the Microsoft Direct Service cable and service whose service was stopped 1-1-2012. Bought a used GTM20 cable preparing for the stoppage. It arrived to day. Using v1.5fixed generator, generated BOTH US and Canada codes for Navteq traffic and entered in to 885T - US activated immediately with Lifetime for US and a message showed up stating subscription would be activated once I was located in area (Canada). Next, entered BOTH US and Canada codes for TTN and the Expired message appeared. Used Keygen v1.3TMCexp generator using 1527 in the Custom Map block and entered generated code into 885T and TTN Expired turned into Lifetime... Thank you all very much! Will miss the MSDirect information greatly but at least I now have Traffic... One note, TTN channels show, but others are not named, so I am assuming they are the Navteq channels but do not know that for certain. Turning back to the Map, after a few minutes, traffic does show on the map, but do not know which service is providing it. I am not able to select as far as I can tell, even from with the Test/traffic Info or the other key. Good luck to all and Happy New Year.

After various tries and with acleite's hints, I found 7947,36,36,1 to be the most reliable. I assume the traffic provider is TTN. This code gives me more than 30 traffic situations in Mexico City. The time delay estimates are not accurate but this code is working much better.
Anyone have any ideas on the NAVTEQ codes for Mexico City?
