No more new unlock codes for City Navigator Europe v9 Available!

[davidr]

I have just learned that Garmin are not intending to release any more new unlock codes for City Navigator v9 Europe.

This means that if you currently have a unit with no Mapping Software, you will be unable to buy City Navigator v9

Presumably it might still be possible to acquire it by purchasing one of the older versions then getting an upgrade but I haven't tried this so I don't know how feasible it is.

Beware if you are considering buying a secondhand unit with no software that this may be an issue for you.

strange....

why garmin will do such thing?

[davidr]

But if you look at it from a software perspective, they might do it because they are about to change the licensing model for the mapping and don't want to lose any more revenue by doing it the old way (it seems to me that with all the mapping companies being bought up and Garmin's recent change in license model) from September, that they could be changing quite a lot things ready for next year.

Just my opinion
