Thread: Garmin City Navigator Europe NT 2013.41

Hi all,
that's not the point ,for me ....
If you unlock a mapset and you can "cut-out" a part of the map , this means that the mapset is correctly unlocked (on mapsource in PC of course)
but.... if the mapset is unl , why the cut-out (o cropped if you prefer) map saved on your Nav is currently locked?
If I understood well , all the mapset you crop in mapsource should be "unl" when you upload them into ur navi ?
Just to learn something more .... I don't wanna bore anyone with that question......
Bye all, Umbe

It depends on how the MapSource product is unlocked. If it is done by unlocking its .tdb file, as is done in the links below, then the generated map gmapsupp.img is still locked. You will need to unlock the generated map again with gimgunlock (in seconds) or other tools.

There are many advantages to unlock by the .tdb method, as mentioned in the first link above. In particular, the generated map has exactly the same unmodified/intact content as that generated from a valid unlock code or GMA file. That's why it is still locked. On the other hand, other methods will generate modified TRE headers, so the generated map does not need to be unlocked again. You should know the differences and pick the method you prefer.
