Greetings mortals! :-)

Yep.. I've been away and I'm not always right here but, I used to help a lot in a few Garmin communties in Brazil... anyway.

The ID is important and so far I've manage to get through the regular holding 10sec procedure (I have a few videos on youtube). I know that with so many unlocked maps available, this becomes a no need, but...

I've been using Nokia cels and I've been using GarminXT on them for a few years... Just to share...

What I use to get the ID from the cards was a simple procedure: insert the SD or microSD card on the GPS and then press the battery icon procedure.
Today, I decided to change my 32Gb microSD for a 32Gb microSD Class 10 (to see if it was fast or not...) and of course, GarminXT did not load anymore. I thought, what the heck, let me get the GPS and go for business... then I realized it was in the car... and my wife left home with it.

Alternative method: I have many card reader... adaptors. I simply have the card with a directory named \Garmin and I put the microSD on the reader and then I opened Mapsource... using tools, I tried to get the Device ID.... since the GPS is read as a "removable disk unit" and the card reader is the same, Mapsource gave me the card ID.

I used GarminUnlock and I got my UNL value!

Worked like a charm and Nokia with GarminXT is up again.

PS if you anyone wants to check... youtube... <gilvamcarvalho> and I think it's basically in Portuguese... so you have no surprises... THX!
