I have a 2610 I bought new which I have the unlock codes for somewhere and I recently picked up a used 2610 from on here recently as a back up with no codes. I have never used mapsource or connected my units to a PC because I run a Mac so I know little about unlock codes etc , never needed to . I have seen the posts about Garmin locker but bear with me a little please .
I have about 300 customer waypoints on my original unit that I have logged manually whilst onsite that has taken about 18mths to build up and I naively thought that I could just put that CF card into my back up unit and I'd have all the way points / mapping I needed, but the more experienced will know that it wont work.
IF I visit Garmin unlocker somehow etc etc for the back up unit will I then be able to swap the card from 1 unit to another OR will that never be a possibility and therefore I might as well take the spare unit out with me and build up the waypoints again. OR is there a way of copying all the waypoints/mapping data from the original CF card onto another , once I have sorted out unlock codes etc etc.
Please remember I have NO knowledge of mapsource, the maps on my CF card were loaded for me by my brother in law on his PC when I bought the unit 8 years ago.
Thanks....
