! agree with above BUT it's "currently" only Garmin themselves (and probably/possibly TomTom too) who want to make a point by threatening legal action specifically against this forum for encouraging piracy/infringement of IPR etc.
It seems a shame that admin won't stand up & be counted by posting a clear statement explaining the true reasoning behind this vague "don't post Garmin or TT maps any more" announcement.
Maybe Garmin and/or TT they think this forum is easy pickings compared with some of the other forums who may possibly be registered outside of Garmins/TT's legal jurisdiction. We all know other forums who have previously been forced to stop supporting particular GPS manufacturers and we also know many who seem immune to these threats.
