The difference between Garmin blue chart mapping programs, bought either

CD with unlock code - OR - as a PreProgrammed DataCards, is that the

product may be installed on two Garmin GPS units, the second can

NOT.

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

Why would Garmin have to tell you beforehand that you may not copy their
copyrighted material? It is already in the federal laws you are supposed
to
be aware of. Stop whining man!

Amen, Meindert. Amen. I am so tired of these whiners that think they are
owed more than they pay for. They find every reason to label manufacturing
and marketing practices as "greed" but their own theft as "reasonable." It
just never ends. I am sure the manufacturers would welcome a "boycott" of
these freeloaders.


I disagree. The normal ULAL says that one cannot use the same
material at the same time. Agreed. If the material is used on a WA
trip then how can it be used on a location other than that? The
priciple of using software at one main location and a secondary
location is a big factor. If the provider will not do this, they are
not a viabile provide, IMO.
