Transfering Maps: You can not add new maps to any SD card without overwriting the existing map set. If you want to add or transfer multiple map sources (i.e. Backroad GPS Maps, TOPO Canada or your own custom map), you have to select all maps in your Software. Garmin softwares will build ONE file with the maps you select and transfer the file to the card. This transfer will overwrite the existing file.
Viewing our maps on your computer: You only get our Maps with the download. In order to view them you will need Garmin MapSource™ / BaseCamp™ on a PC or BaseCamp™ / RoadTrip™ on your Mac.
Unlock Key: Once you register your unlock key can always be found on your account page by logging in.
Transfering Maps to your Unit or SD card: You will need Garmin's Map Install to do this. You can download it from here for PC/Windows, and here for Mac.
