Product key garmin map update 2011

Did you order the DVD from Garmin? If so, they should have sent you an email with the product code. I had the same problem called Garmin the key was on the same page. I'm not sure if you downloaded the file or got the hard copy, mine was the download. Yes, I ordered the dvd from Garmin and he mailed it to me.

Guess I will have to call them Monday. I received my free CD of upgrade and figured that Saturday would be a good day to upgrade the Nuvi Well the program is asking for a "product key" and I don't have one. I searched the package that the disc came in and nothing. Garmin "help" is closed until Monday.

Any ideas where this product key should be because it's not on the CD floder flap. On the back of my case was a very large, very bright green sticker that said "Important: Please retain for your records. Your product key is xxxxxxxx. Without the product key, you will not be able to install the map on your computer and GPS, so you probably will need to wait until Monday and call Garmin.

It's hard to imagine that a Garmin-mailed DVD upgrade would be mailed without a product key. Check your "my Garmin" account on the Garmin Website to see if they have the new map update listed and that is where the product key will be shown. I looked at Garmin on line at my account and there it was--my "Product Key".

Prehaps they firgured I would be smart enough to look at my account and use the same "product key". Well I wasn't--at least not without help. Thanks again!!!!!!!!!!!!! Jim -- heading up Mount Graham with the jepp on Tuesday. Good for you. Have an enjoyable next hours installing it. I'll remember the tip. I downloaded the update last week, today I got a email telling me of the map update.

Overall it was fine, except I had one lockup I was deviating from route. Screen froze Waited about 30 seconds and realize nothing was happening It was still showing us just leaving intersection where route turned left, and we didn't..

Power button press Immediately shut down system, and went to Charging Mode No other issues Anything would have been confused on that. You would think there would be priorities built in on what to do 1st. Oh wait I am thinking again. Silly me. Forget that. I'm not holding my breath. Good, thoughtful! My notice was in my email this morn. The only thing i can figure out is they dont notify everyone at the same time so they spread the downloads out over a longer time period. Took my LMT out for a trip for the first time since the latest update.

This update seems to have added more Junction View pictures to the mix. As I was driving through Ottawa on the nearly every exit and junction had its own picture. I am wondering if all these graphics are what are making the update file get to be such a size now. The JVC file for Log In Sign Up. Home » Garmin talk. Login or register to post comments.

Servers were SLOW!!! Much better than last time Here is the successful path through this terrible Garmin unlock wizard: an astounding 9 steps through Garmin crazy land:. Again, I've seen this screen before, it looks like the wrong path.

To enter my license key, Garmin wants me to login to their website. So I log in to make them happy Now I've gone down the more sane less insane?

After entering in 22 fields of information, plus my user login to "my garmin", plus a rejected phone call to Garmin technical support, they are asking for something new, something amazing, something called the "External Serial Number" of the Unit. Hey, it's psycho user interface world built by Garmin. I have found the crappiest user interface on the planet, now I'm actually getting curious on what happens next.

Yes, I removed the battery, and there it was. The correct number of digits. We're not done yet, because Garmin is a hateful, evil company, but I'm getting excited, this seems promising! I enter my Garmin Rino's "hidden under the battery" serial number in the space below:. Oh my goodness it keeps on going! This comes hidden in the cardboard in the shrink wrap packaging of the Australian CD. Not in the CD Jewelcase. Not taped to the CD.

Not printed on the front of the CD. But hidden in between this non-obvious brick of card board. But hey, I found it, and I entered it, and I have successfully defeated Garmin's licensing scheme! Or got through the labyrinth.
