I just bought the Garmin Mobile 20 with the maps on the data card. Can anyone tell me if I can transfer what's on the data card to my own mini (more storage space), or if I have to use the data card provided?

haven't been to Paul's, but if you want to send me Paul's money - just kidding! Do you know about whether the data card can be copied? Garmin told me it was locked and I needed to get the DVD instead.

this has been killing me
this app is worthless with out detailed maps

that being said i own the detailed maps and can get them on my phone. I can not for anything get them to unlock. city nav is unlocked on my pc. I can download them to the device, but the device wants an 8 digit unlock code. Mine is a 25 digit unlock code. I can not figure this out. i am retarded or something
my city nav DVD came with an 8 digit code in the sleeve but it does not work either.
when ever i go into the manage my data, and click on the detailed maps i get a message saying can not use maps with device id ******* (my card id #)
anyone out there can help me i would appreciate it.

I jumped for joy too quick. I was able to download the maps into my phone, but the garmin software still says they are locked in the phone. It asks for the 8 digit code. I did copy an unlock file and named it gmappsupp.unl and put it in the garmin folder on my card. what else do I need to do? It took over an hour to transfer the map to the card....i really dont want to do this again. I think I have aged 20 years over the past week because of trying to get this to work for me.......

I had a problem getting maps going with the pre-built gmapsupp.img floating around, I had to use mapsource to build the map list and it worked fine for me.
