I have a question for someone that knows something about Garmin equipment

my wife came home with a friend's nuvi 310 that has a problem..

when you start it, it boots to blue screen, then loading maps.(Can't Unlock maps) appears

I have got it to boot past this but when I hit address it gomes you with (No Map Data Available)

Please help

Is it set up for the state you are in. Had the same thing with the NUVI 760 and couldn't find my home address then realised it was set for NSW not SA

Richard, can you explain to a dummy a few things.
What is the "map source program" I thought that this was just a linking piece of software that enabled you to then get OZ topo.
You say' and the maps are just as bad' What maps?
I have a 530 and am thinking of getting the new Oz topo. Is this a bad choice?

wigger

map source is the Garmin program that you use to interface with the unit also to plan trips make and save waypoints routes all the things you do with a mapping program.

the unit is not mine and has been givin back but I think they where sinces (spelling) maps of OZ but I got the nuvi working but could get Mapsourse to unlock the maps..

Cheers

Hi All,

Got my Nuvi 310 Fixed. The unlock code given was incorrect. If you get "Can't Unlock Maps" The email waopsmgr@gme.net.au His name is "Chad"

Top guy, very helpful and quick. Chad is the Garmin Manager for WA.

Cheers
