    Perhaps an interesting aside to add to the above method for unlocking... When using this method of entering Keys, I tried looking at this method of unlocking and after clicking the ADD block, I found 12 entries of 60 some that say Map Product Not Installed amongst the other installed maps. It appears that these entries are left over from apparently failed attempts to enter keys for maps and these entries can be deleted without harming any maps installed. I have 245 maps installed and unlocked but only 60 or so show up in the ADD screen drop down. Perhaps most of 245 maps were installed using ALL.BAT for unlocking rather then entering a key using the Unlock Wizard, and therefore does not make entries into the registry which I think is what this column exposes?

    After further research, I deleted the Maps Not Installed entries found in the region drop down and the serial number entries disappeared from the serials in the registry without any affect on the 245 working maps so I suppose my assumption about failed key entries showing as Map Not Installed is probably correct, something that may interest others with the same findings. That is, this actually helps to clear out bad serials entered into the registry using Unlock Wizard!

    Catymag,

    Does using ALL.BAT or, using Gmap Reverse Converter (for 22xx maps and all others installing themselves under Doucuments\....\Garmin\maps\) then ALL.BAT harm or distort or inhibit any of the MapSource installed map functions such as Find or ? and if so, what method should be used so as to not harm the maps installed under MapSource? Have not found any thread addressing this point for the MapSource maps, only for IMG maps and even these discussions do not make it clear how to install/unlock images with no harm to them. Still somewhat confused on which of all availble methods that harm the map data. Thank you.
