Am suffering the GPS horrors despite reading Exploroz's many threads.
I downloaded the "free" Mapsource, entered the 25 character unlock code but was then required to enter a product code. I entered a legit code which I received when I upgraded CityNavigator. The code was rejected because it had already been used!

How do I get the "free" Mapsource to work?

Free Mapsource? Are you sure?

I looked at the Garmin website and there is no mention of a free Mapsource product.

There is an upgrade but you must already own a previous version.

Perhaps some Garmin guru will supply further information.
I don't use it myself.

I believe one can download a free copy of mapsource from a certain website that contains a "shonky" mapset.

Is this the site you are after:

http://shonkylogic.net/shonkymaps/

I have this loaded on my Garmin as the basemap - It's a much better basemap than the garmin one

Kevin, you might just need to try it a few times. I think I had to do that when I set mine up. Also, you have to load the Garmin Training Centre I think.Check out member Doug T's website for lots of Garmin info.

Cheers
