    Hi woodie
    To get your Unit ID please read Page 47 of instructions from the link below

    [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

    Basically what it says is
    From the Main menu>Tools>Settings>System>About there you will see your Unit ID


    Type your unit ID in the top window of the keygen, miss the software bit all together, then drop the window down where it says Select Map Product, go right down to the bottom and click on <custom mapset>
    put 2262 in for FID then click ok then click generate, thats the Map unlock code you make into a gmapsupp.unl file as per my instructions and pics in previous posts and extra pics below. On the SD card create a folder called garmin put the gmapsupp.unl file in there with the map image gmapsupp.img and start your gps and it will see the new map

    To make a gmapsupp.unl file open notepad on your PC copy the serial into it,
    Go to file at the top, click file go to save as, type in gmapsupp.unl for File Name, take away the *.txt at the end of gmapsupp.unl
    Then underneath where you see Save as type, change to All Files (*.*) your PC will alert you about changing file extension (see pic) just say yes then copy this gmapsupp.unl file into the garmin folder on the SD Card next to the gmapsupp.img all should now be right.

    The most common reason for the maps to be still locked is the gmapsupp.unl file when looking at it (as per my Picture above) it should read on your PC gmapsupp.unl
    IF it reads gmapsupp.unl.txt it's WRONG

    If you read my instructions word for word following all steps explained you will not get any errors I know it's all nerve racking at first but patience will pay off.

    Also if all else fails, Unit says "gps cannot authenticate maps" use link below to unlock Map image, Thanks to catymag for the link. Also before using unlocker make aback up copy

    Download unlocker it's in a rar file so unrar FastIMG Unlocker into the same folder as the locked Map image and double click on it and let it do it's work, (just a tip turn off anti virus and if double click not work try right click run as administrator) once it runs you will then get inside the folder a map image called gmapsupp_locked.img and an unlocked image gmapsupp.img that is ready to use
