Get your Mapsource DVD w/purchase of a Garmin Device

As you might have noticed if you just purchased a new Nuvi, many of these devices don't come with a Mapsource DVD. Although the POIs and map detail is already loaded on your device. This makes it difficult to prepare routes without the Mapsource software on your PC.

However, there is a trick and the American buyer (only) is entitled to the disk, and if they send an email to Garmin via their support web page: http://www.garmin.com/contactUs/techSupport.jsp
including their unit serial number etc., Garmin will send you the DVD for free. Then, using the unlock code included in the original package (on a yellow sheet), the user can install MapSource onto their PC.

Hope this helps for all of those looking for their missing map software!
