UNIT ID RETRIEVAL AND UNLOCK CODE (not required for NAVIGATOR)

Mapsource is needed to upload the maps to your GPS. Our maps features an automatic installer that will load it into Mapsource. An Unlock code is required to upload our Expeditioner TOPO map to the GPS. To issue the unlock code, we need to know your GPS ID number.  The GPS ID number is made of 10 digits and is a unique electronic identifier for your GPS. Enter your UNIT ID# into the field next to the shopping cart button when ordering.
