I hope I am not posting on the wrong forum. If yes please tell me.
I have a garmin nuvi 765T, and I bought a map for my country ( cannot say which as I do not want to create issues for forum). Map is locked on SD card, so i can only view it on my gps. I would appreciate help in order to view map in Mapsource. Thanks to you guys for the great work you do!!

I may be confused with the FID and Product code. The map is actually an NT 2009 image file. I used the map id for the FID to no avail afterwhich I use the Map ID for the product code and again to no avail. During conversion,the CGPSmapper don't seems to reconise anything except that it is a marine extended type map. I even tried the 25 characters unlocking code for the FID and Product Code with no conversion success result.

Thanks buudy .... nice information u have shared

[QUOTE=catymag;287283]Things to know:

Unlock code is 25 characters per mapset.

Garmin mapsets require the unlock code to use in Garmin MapSource too. But we have the way to patch unlock any Garmin mapset.

I have the impression that it is possible to totally remove unlock code from any mapset to be used in any GPSr. I am using gmaptool and there is an option -r to remove it. Is this correct? And if yes, would you mind going thru the step-by-steps. Thanks
