So Garmin has made ​​a mistake with this new firmware upgrade, or it is the beginning of a further security methodology

I just visited this Dutch forum: this specific map (FID=10140) is larger than 4Gb and is meant only to be used in Basecamp. The separate EU maps are reported to work correctly.

As far as I can judge at the moment all (Topo) maps except CN are working.

just visit the Dutch forum, new post: also a legal version of CN 2014.40 gives the same problem if I can believe TS.

I agree...Garmin does not intentionally block the free maps from working
but still to fear that they will get new idea to stop UnLocked map working

Knowing Garmin is prone to errors in their software, I think this is the most likely scenario and the start of the roll-out of new FW to other units as well as bugs get ironed out. Expect it to cover more maps as time goes by...

For the record. I have experienced the same problem (Can't authenticate) with at least one topo map: Topo Slovakia v4 unlocked img, from [Only registered and activated users can see links. ].
