Finding your Garmin GPS ID
In order to install the Bicimapas GPS map to your Garmin GPS, they will have to generate an Unlock Key for you. This product is only guaranteed to work with a PC installation of MapSource. It will not work with a MAC.
In order to see the map in Mapsource and load it to the GPS, an Activation Key is needed. To issue the unlock code, we need to know your GPS ID number.
Mexico GPS Atlas 2011 is not compatible with previous versions. Thus a new unlock key is needed to activate the map. If you have the 2009, 2008 or 2007 editions, please email me for upgrade options.
The GPS ID number is made of 10 digits and is a unique electronic identifier for your GPS.
