If you have a legitimate copy of the map it shouldn't need unlocking. I suggest you go back to whoever supplied you with the map.

I too bought a C310x in the United States and now want to use it in Estonia. I found a iGo map of Estonia, copied into my flash and also get the message "the map is locked". I find Sallyann's reply unhelpful, does anyone know how to unlock the figgin' map or have an already unlocked version of it?

You might find it unhelpful but it is the correct answer.

If you want help to crack maps and pirate them then please find another forum.

Check the forum rules.

ygrossma and WorldSpy stop this right away. Not only is piracy against this forum's rules, but it is also despicable. It is stealing the bread from somebody else's mouth - would you do that to your children, your sister, your parents? What I'm saying is, if your families relied on making and selling maps, how would you like it if someone pirated a copy and passed it on to so many other people that you didn't sell any more? Or how would you feel about somebody coming into your house and taking your stuff?

I would be happy to buy a real map if they would only sell it at a reasonable price. All I want is Estonia (PERIOD), but they will only sell me all of Europe for more than what I paid for the whole GPS. If the prices were reasonable I would buy it but they are not reasonable even if I did want all of Europe. Until things are sold at a price that makes sense, let them reap the fruits of their greed. In wanting everything they get nothing. Now if we could just take down big pharma!!!

And I bet you actually pay for all your MP3's and wouldn't dream of sharing or even ripping them from CDs you aready own or GASP! borrowed. Further you love dealing with digital rights management and having someone else tell you what you can or cannot do with your own files.

Different strokes for different folks. As I stated before, if they sold me Estonia only I would probably buy it but the price has to be sane. I have no sympathy for manufactures and/or developers that feel they have you by your short and curlies.

Further, why unlock a CE device? If the manufacturer wanted you to have full capabilities at the price of a GPS they would have given it to you in the first place. Why cheat the GPS manufacturer or Microsoft from an upgrade? If the manufacturer wanted you to have a descent MP3 player he would have given you one raher than offering to sell you an different GPS that is exactly the same as the one you bought except it plays MP3s well and maybe video too. Keep control where it belongs, to large multinational corporations and "F" the consumer. Is that what you are telling me? If so, shut down your site.

I bought all my CDs from real shops (and some scumbag stole them from me). I don't know what a CE device is, so I don't know anything about unlocking one.

I do know about locking threads and this one has gone far enough.
