Hi catymag

I installed Garmin Mobile PC and followed the steps in this post, [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

I connected my Colorado 400c, but got a error message
could not authenticate garmin GPS hardware

The Device ID I used is the one in the Settings -> About page, not the ID of my Colorado 400c.

Any advice?

Regards

I dont know Colorado device but I think you must create the unlock file
with notepad to unlock it
use jetmouse keygen

When you save the .UNL file in Notepad, be sure you set the "Save as type" to "All Files", not "Text Documents".
put it in your device garmin folder

Hi catymag

I did all the following steps.
Here are step-by-step instructions:
01. Install Garmin MobilePC using MAIN.msi
02. Run MobilePC
03. Choose "Yes" (Did this purchase of Garmin Mobile PC include a Garmin GPS receiver)
04. Choose "Done"
05. Choose "OK" 06. Choose "Skip"
07. Choose "Yes"
08. Choose "I Agree"
09. In Settings -> About, take note of your Device ID
10. Click "X" in top right corner to exit
11. Start patched кεygεn(use the latest кεygεnv.1.5
12. In top box, enter your Device ID
13. In "Select Product" dropdown box, choose <Garmin Mobile PC> and enter Device IDv
14. Click bottom "Generate" button & copy key
15. Start Notepad, paste key and save to c:\GarminMobilePC\sw.unl

And also put a copy of sw.unl into my device garmin folder, also tried my Colorado 400c ID, but still not working

Hi,

Let's clear out some facts.
Colorado 400c is stand alone GPS navigation device and Garmin Mobile PC is Windows PC program for navigaton.

To navigate with Garmin Mobile PC You need USB, serial or BlueTooth GPS reciever connected to Your PC (not GPS navigation device).

To transfer maps to Colorado 400c You need MapSource program (not Mobile PC), or You can copy gmapsupp.img to memory card (with gmapsupp.unl).

In both cases You need key generator, for Mobile PC to unlock program and maps (sw.unl and gmapsupp.unl) and for Colorado 400c only to unlock maps (gmapsupp.unl).

What do You want to do???

You could not use Colorado 400c as external GPS reciever for Garmin Mobile PC program.

Hi Midnight Blues

The fact is that under Garmin Spanner mode, Colorado 400 could connect to PC as a external GPS, which works fine with Google Map and nRoute, even Garmin Mobile PC can show satellite signal of Co 400 but not no other functions.

Hi,

Thanks for information, didn't know that.
If Mobile PC is connected with Colorado, only problem can be that program is not unlocked.

Files "sw.unl" and "gmapsupp.unl" should be placed together with "gmapsupp.img" in Mobile PC installation directory (C:\GarminMobilePC).

For generating sw.unl file use code from Mobile PC -> Settings -> About -> Software Unit ID.

Use [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] to generate code and [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] for writing unl file. In keygen select Garmin Mobile PC from drop list.

Hi Midnight Blues

Thank you for reply.

Last night I've generated the sw.unl file by the tools you mentioned, and tried the software unit ID and Colorado ID, none of them work, do you think this will be the keygen issue?

The error message is
could not authenticate garmin GPS hardware

So I think it's not related to maps, but the device.
