Missed the replies. I have used my card for almost a year without any problems.
I can't be sure this guy is doing anything illegal. There are people out there that can make their own maps. I downloaded some programs and had some guys try to talk me through the process. I just didnt have the time to learn. But there are guys with the ability to pull data from public information and make detailed maps.

If they are buying Garmin cards, making copies and reselling them - yes, that is illegal. Think of it similar to even the Napster issues that happened online before Itunes came around. National news - People were buying music cd's and "sharing", not even charging or selling them, just sharing for free online - it's copyright infringement, you can't buy a piece of software, copy it and resell it yourself, or give it away. Just like you can't buy a microsoft windows 7 disk, use it on your computer and resell it.
It would be great idea as nobody would ever need to buy anything again, but it's just not legal.

I just can't be sure he is copying the bought maps. AGAIN some people have the programs and resources to make their own maps. I myself downloaded the programs and was in the process of making my own maps. Dogman out. |

Yes, but this was in reference to this post:
"There is a guy in Arkansas that will load up to 8 states on a Micro SD that fits into the Garmin. It showed all the little creeks and cuts in the marsh in South Carolina and all the small roads in TX. The cost was about 25 dollars. "
That means this guy has the software, or some type of software and he is loading states for people and charging... that would be the illegal part.

I don't own a Garmin yet but would love to soon but from what I have heard is that by getting your own DVD you then get the upgrades through your computer?? Any truth to this or ........??

Why does load mean copy or steal. Each state and counties maps that are free to public to use and download and make overlays out off if they feel.
But take it however you want.

Its call fear mongering. LOL virus ? Not to say it couldn't happen....but Virus's go after credit card info SSN's and such... Trish,
I agree with you on the fact that it is likely a copied card. What I don't understand is how a card, copied from Garmin files can screw up an Astro 220? Have you ever seen or heard of that happening?
