Oh yeah, if you think I'm alone in this opinion, check out these links: - Jim's Random Notes with the quote 'Garmin's.Īttitude towards customers is insulting.' - 'Stupid Garmin MapSource Installation' by Jeremy Zawodny - 'More MapSource unlock madness.' In a discussion group - 'Bad Experience so far. No, wait, scratch that - it is as if the Garmin UI designers have NEVER USED ANY INSTALLER BEFORE! It's that profoundly bad. It's like the designers of this UI flow (Garmin engineers) have never built an installer before. Not only that, but to get the number it wants, I have to create an online account with Garmin (16 more fields to fill out) and then I'm not allowed to use that online account to license the GPS! The CD Package and my GPS provide me with 7 numbers of varying lengths and NONE of them is the number it wants. My main issue is that I can't even understand the METAPHOR the Garmin map unlocker is shooting for. This web page documents how very bad their GUI is, and documents the nooks and crannies of the license key process. Garmin's UI designers and programmers are clearly incompetent and should be fired immediately and then sued for fraudulently presenting themselves as professionals capable of building a product. Unlocking a Garmin Map Unlocking a Garmin Map (this page created 5/27/08) Enter your 25-code, which Garmin won't give you! Garmin's Unlocking Maps is Difficult (and that's an understatement) Garmin maps has the WORST unlock code license key experience of any product EVER in the history of time.
