    Thanks for your helping. But it doesn't work.

    myMaps shows my device has a purchased 2010.40 map. "Retrieve Unlocks" sent me a set of (two) 2010.40 unlock codes to MapSource in my computer with comment "Region unlock code from *-*-*-*-*.gma."(hide my device id by *). Of course the 2010.40 map is not installed. Then I downloaded 2010.40 mapsource file and copied to the right place to make MapSource recognize it. The first unlock code unlocked 2010.40 map successfully. However, there's another unlock code still shows "Map product not installed" in Map Product Manager. I guess it is for 3D map or JCV or ASR?

    Then I sent a 2010.40 map to my device. Sure it sent a .gma file as well. But it still shows "There are locked data files in your device" when GPS boot up. Although there's only 2010.40 map with its .gma file in device.

    What else can I try?

    you should have *.gmas in your nuvi , it's mapsource who sends them to your unit when installing maps and it should send all the *.gmas needed for the map you downloaded.Enable hidden files in windows and check in system folder
    You could use Fast IMG Unlocker to unlock - Btw I dont have any GMAP3D.gma in my unit, but I have a 9 digits.gma probably added with the last map update.
    But IMHO i'd redownload the map directly in the unit with mapupdater to be sure to have all the needed files.
    ASR and JCV arent locked

    I have the same problem with a 765T, whenever I turn it on without a SD Card in it, it says I have "locked files", but the only maps there are the official maps with the .gma .
    I have always had the .gmas from Garmin, same date as the GMAPPROM and GMAP3D, but the message continues...

    If I turn the GPS on with a SD card that has an unlocked map, it does not say this message.
    Could this problem be related to not being able to use the 3D buildings IMG files (only in in newer maps)?

    Please, any ideas?

    Thanks!
