I'm using win8 and i placed it in the folder link you provided in your post. If you recall i told you at a point mapsource prompted me to unlock the map. This, i believe would only be possible if the gmap folder is placed in the right place. Amazingly also, i placed an unlocked gmap folder (same one) back in the location and mapsource prompted me to unlock!! So, is there anything wrong with the unlocking process? Thanks for all your assists and please see me through.
