The difference between Garmin blue chart mapping programs, bought either on
CD with unlock code - OR - as a PreProgrammed DataCards, is that the first
product may be installed on two Garmin GPS units, the second can presently
NOT.

Complaint over policy of non allowed duplication of
PreProgrammed DataCards for personal use in a second
Garmin GPS unit.



My complaint is based on the restriction of
dublicating PreProgrammed DataCards beeing so deep
imbedded in Garmin and their autorized dealers
sales/ordering websites that this is only explained in
the third or later web-ordering/info layer.

Instead of clear information about any restriction for
a specific product the contrary is being illustrated
in the websales and information examples given below
which includes phrases such as:

" you are free to go!
Conveniently ready
determine which format works best."

I believe Garmin more activly, should announce any
restrictions of a product up front.

I suggest that Garmin - for the price of the
appropriate blank data card, plus a fee for
transfering the mapprogram in question to the
cardmedia - establishes this service with the same
restrictions that applies to the CDmedia.

Such a move by Garmin would set consumers of both product even.
