Does anyone know where you get the unlock code from after you have bought Lifetime Maps please?
I have been on to Garmin, because despite the efforts of various folks on here, the process is just far to complex for me to complete. The chap there has managed to get UK Ireland section of my European Lifetime Maps back onto the Zumo for me - it took three phone calls to get it to actually work though. They are back in and working now, thankfully.
Trying to get the rest of Europe onto the computer is the next stage, using Mapinstall, which I have managed to install onto the computer (easier than I thought). I was following the instructions and it says, even though I am in My Garmin page, it needs the unlock code. I know I have lifetime maps, but I have no idea where this code is. I didn't know I had one - and doesn't ask me for the code when it sends the maps to the Zumo (which is why I don't know about it).
I think I shall just have to wait until tomorrow and phone Garmin again, and be talked through it. Am I the only one who doesn't think like computer things work - it all seems so complicated to me. Then having been told how to do something, there is no way I can remember how to do it again, I think because I have no comprehension of what I am actually doing, I am just doing as I am told, with no understanding of the process. If someone told me to do something that was going to make my computer explode, I would follow the instructions blindly, simply because I wouldn't know otherwise. I feel so isolated, I am the same with mobile phones, I can't work them either.
