The whole process of trying to update maps for the Honda Navi is messed up. If anyone has success doing it, please post how it was done. I'm not sure if there is any way to get an unlock code for the Honda Navi using Garmins new on-line process.

The problem with this is that the newest card available from Honda is for 2008 maps, so you have to pay $200 for maps that are already 2 years old and out of date. They want you to buy the card from Honda for $200. 6.13.7 has the Unlock Wizard in it that will let you manually load an unlock code in it.įurthermore, it appear Garmin is making it hard for Wing owners to get an unlock code from them. However, if you have a copy of the old 6.13.7 version (which I think is better anyway) you can load it and have two versions of Mapsouce on the PC at the same time. When you load the newest version of City Navigator (2010), it automatically updates mapsource to the newer version. It would appear that Garmin has taken away the ability to manually input an unlock code into Mapsource to unlock the maps with the newer versions of Mapsource. Follow the directions on the screen and make sure you use the correct unit serial number or all hell will break loose.

You need to be connected to the internet to do this. After installing mapsource an Unlock Wizard automatically starts. In my case, the 8 digit coupon code was on a slip of paper buried inside the plastic packaging, not inside the disc case. The above came from the help section of my mapsource program. In addition, you can use the UnlockWizard to update your Garmin account information. If you did not unlock maps during installation, if you want to unlock another MapSource region, or if you want to unlock maps for a second Garmin GPS device, you may do so using the UnlockWizard and/or Garmin's Web site: You can also use the UnlockWizard to view your current unlock codes, create backup files of your unlock codes, and restore your unlock codes from backup files. Follow the directions on your computer screen and use the code to unlock the map data and register your MapSource product. The UnlockWizard runs automatically at the end of the installation process. Those products come with either a 25-character unlock code that can unlock all maps associated with the MapSource product, or a MapSource Unlock Certificate, which is an 8-character coupon code that you can redeem to unlock a single region. Some MapSource products must be 'unlocked' before you can view and transfer detailed map data.
