Wer seine CityNavigaotor-Karten noch auf einem Zweit-GPS freischalten will, sollte sich sputen. nach dem 1. Juni geht das nicht mehr:

After reading in another post that Garmin is changing thier policy with
regards to unlock codes I called Garmin to verify. Spoke to a very nice
lady in tech support who confirmed that changes were in fact in place
with regards to City Navigator and unlock codes. The first change went
into effect May 1 when a new policy eliminating free updates went into
effect. According to tech support if you buy an older copy of a mapping
software Garmin will no longer upgrade for free. The example I have is
buying a copy of City Navigator 7 on E-Bay; if you want to upgrade to
CN8 you will have to pay the upgrade cost.
Even more disturbing, effective June 1 there will be no free second
unlock code; this includes people who have already purchased the
programs with the understanding the second unlock was available. Having
just bought a 76CSx and a full version of CN8 I was counting on using
the second code at a later date if I decided to buy another 76 for the
wife. Now I will have to buy another GPS by June 1 or lose my second
unlock code.
The resaon for the changes, according to Garmin, was due to policy
changes with their mapping distributor. It was recommended that all
concerns about these changes be sent to [email protected]
The only good new was that Garmin willbe doing an across the board price
reduction of $75-100 on all units in the very near future. I could not
get an exact date but the indication was these reductions would go into
effect by summer.
