Default Garmin DO NOT BUY IT before you read this!!!

Somehow this discussion has drifted, and IŽm not sure how your wife got
into it.


It was a simple comparison. Another one......I can't use the engine in
my car in two different cars at one time just the same as it's not
physically possible to use the same memory card in two different GPS's at
the same time.

Why is it fair that you legally can take a copy off a CDmap but not off a
card.


That's just the way it is whether you consider it fair or not. I have
always told my kids.......life isn't fair.

Will taking a copy froma CD be managable for Garmin and not harm them, but
doing a copy from a card be uncontrolable and swamp us with lawbreakers?


Absolutely.

Still doŽnt get it.


I guess we both don't get it yet. I don't understand how it's possible
to use a memory card in two different GPS's at the same time and you don't
get why it's not possible. What possibly gave you the idea that you could
copy the info. off of the pre-programmed card onto another one? As I stated
before you can't copy the card because there would be no way to control
theft of the info. The CD version uses unlock codes to control the theft of
the info. My best suggestion is to sell the pre-programmed memory card and
buy the correct product for what you want to do.
