I do not think that this map and distributor in Romania have any relation to Garmin policy. And so this fact run counter to the Garmin policy. What's are bad - no free actual update of SW, no possibility to install other map with the same abnormal encryption (read - the competitor product as for Ukraine).
Only two distributors has the same encryption - Romania and Ukraine. The both try to justify it as opposition to nonofficial import. But I can see only exorbitantly overpriced price on products in compare to neighbour countries. Plus Ukraine have another problem - two distributor and each have proper map. But Ukraine is especially case. We all hear news - the neglect of the authorities and big businesses to the people leads the bad end! May be Luxena and Aeroscan made a small contribution to it because they too rigidly tied buyers to own awful techsupport.
Garmin is not kind magician too and closes his eyes for own profit! But do not think that he do it with love I hope!
