Unlocking Garmin MapSource City Navigator maps
(CNEU 2010.30, CNNA 2010.40, CN Australia & NZ 2010.30, CN Brazil 2011.10, ..., and all newer versions)
As all MapSource City Navigator products from Garmin have different file structure from other "classic" products, newer releases also installs MapSource program which does not accept keys generated with JetMouse, You have to do some preparetions and modifications for unlocking.
This different structure is visible on first sight as this products are not installed in "C:Garmin" folder but in "C:Documents and SettingsAll UsersApplication DataGARMINMaps" on Windows XP, or in "C:ProgramDataGARMINMaps" on Vista or Windows 7.
Another way to determine if products is using this "new" structure is to start MapReverseConverter and to see if it is listed in "Installed Maps".
Only maps with this "new" structure are listed in program.
All this maps could be unlocked in MapSource up to version 6.15.7 using code generated with JetMouse keygen without any extra procedure, but if your MapSource is newer, you will have to install version 6.15.11 (6.16.1) and overwrite it with patched version.
You can see MapSource version in Help -> About window.
You don't have to install new MapSource if Your version is 6.15.7 or older after installation of City Navigator.
If you want to generally unlock all installed maps with "Garmin unlocker" (all.bat) you should not have installed ANY MapSource product with this "new" structure.
"Installed Maps" window in MapReverseConverter MUST be empty.
Using Garmin unlocker (all.bat) with such maps installed will PERMANENTLY DESTROY maps.
You have to reverse convert with MapReverseConverter and uninstall all original versions of converted maps before using Garmin unlocker.
