Which release of Google Earth are you running on your laptop? Current
free release is 4.

Thanks for the advice, everyone. I don't really want to have to set up
up another computer for the express purpose of running MapSource, even
if it is cheap. However, I can probably use someone else's computer
for that, since I probably won't need to use it too often directly
(can use Google Earth for downloading tracks and waypoints). I just
didn't want to be stuck in that situation indefinitely, but it appears
I was mistaken about the code locking to both the hardware and the
software. That's a relief. Thanks again for the help!

Google Earth is running reasonably on both Linux and Windows XP on a 256MB
laptop for me.

I could not find any way in MapSource to select which of my two unlock
codes will be used for a map. So I connect the GPS receiver the map
will be used on by USB and then make the map to a card in the reader.
And that has worked for me so far.

It seems like MapSource should allow a simpler method of letting you
select what unlock to use when making maps in a reader.

If you were following the thread, the OP has a Power Mac, and didn't
want to buy a PC to run MapSource.
MapSource will run well on PC hardware that G/E will refuse to run on.

MapSource will run well on PC hardware that G/E will refuse to run on.

And Google Earth runs better on his PowerMac than any current version
of MapSource.

So, how is this even relevant?

It's relevant, because, just maybe, the OP does not want to keep moving
his GPSR from the PC (used to load maps via MapSource) to his Mac (used
to load tracks & waypoints via G/E).

If I buy a Garmin MapSource product, unlock it, and install it on my
GPS, can I later remove the maps from my GPS, sell MapSource to someone
else, and transfer the map license from my GPS unit to theirs?

From my reading of Garmin's web site, I think the answer is "no", which
leaves me with few options. But I'd like to double-check.

The answers really No but do have the right to TWO unlock codes for your
Mapsource product so technically yes you can sell it on.
