Hello..

Can I Update my 750 with a map from my girlfriend's newer 1350?

Tried copying the new gmapprom.img over to my 750 from the 1350 but when I fired it up, the GPS says it is unable to unlock the map. Damn...

I am good at bit torrent but cant seem to find a newer map than 2009 for nuvi750

Thanks for any help.

The new maps are everywhere, what you need is an unlock code.

Not only that, but unlocked maps are also everywhere.

So the two (illegitimate) choices are locked map + unlock code, or
unlocked map. Both are available in abundance 'out there'.

OpenStreetMaps doesn't need unlock codes :-)

True, but I've checked out OSM and was sorely disappointed, so for me
the choice is only Garmin maps.

The OpenStreetMaps work like a charm on my Garmin GPSmap 60 CSx. I reuse
to pay for the Garmin maps
I also correct mistakes in the maps from OpenStreetMaps which is much
appreciated. If you report a mistake to Garmin you even don't get a
reply, so...... Goodbye Garmin, hello OpenStreetMaps :-)

So, after putting yourself out there trying to get something for nothing,
how much LESS do you think someone's gonna charge you for an unlock code?
Unless, of course, you were expecting someone to just send you theirs for
free? because they're good samaritans?

Instead of exerting this much effort in ripping off the company, why not
just bite the bullet and buy the damn thing?

For $65.58 the whole deal is available for you hassle-free:

I think that Garmin is the biggest cause of people looking else where for
maps. "why not just bite the bullet and buy the damn thing?"
WHY?--Because the price for a map upgrade is unreasonably costly. The
temptation to go the free way is very high if the same map is available for
$0.0. How about a battery replacement? Would you send your unit away, pay
a flat cost of approx $79 when you can get an OEM battery (including tools
and instructions-BatteryShip.com) for $20. It took me 15 min to replace my
Nuvi battery.

The thing that prevents me from buying a lifetime update for my present
Garmin model is that the lifetime maps cannot be transferred to a new
Garmin that I buy. I suppose many people here replace their Garmins for
new ones every few years, so the their "lifetime" map updates are only
good for that old model's "lifetime" in your possession.
What happens if your lifetime map updated Garmin dies?
I should be able to go to the Garmin registration site and remove the
old Garmin, add the new one and have Garmin continue the map updates on
the new one. What's the problem with that other than Garmin's greed,
or as you phrased it, 'ripping off'?
BTW. I do not have, never had, nor want, any pirated maps for my Garmins.
I did buy a single map update for my Nuvi 765 once, but within a few
months it became outdated. My Garmin shows a nag screen reminding me of
that on an irregular basis when I start it up.
