When i turn on the gps it says can't unlock map

Information on unlocking garmin maps can be found at http://www.fixya.com/support/r6197735-no_detailed_maps_found_support_routing

There's more information there than you need since the article is about garmin nuvi satnavs that display a message "No detailed maps found that support routing" but part of the article deals with locked maps. The principle is the same for the garmin Edge but you'll need to skip to the part that deals with unlocking maps.

Question: What should I do if my Garmin nuvi or zumo displays the message "No Detailed Maps Found That Support Routing" or "No Map Data Available?"
--> Answer: The "No Detailed Maps Found That Support Routing" or "No Map Data Available" message may appear on your device for the following reasons:

• The GPS device is missing it's unlock code
• The maps on the GPS device have been disabled

To determine the cause of the message, touch the screen until the message "No Detailed Maps Found That Support Routing" disappears.

• If you see a "Can't Unlock Maps" message following this error, remove any microSD / SD cards in the device and follow the instructions below for Retrieving your unlock codes followed by the instructions for Creating an unlock file

• If you do not get the Can't Unlock Maps message then skip to the instructions for Enabling maps on the GPS device

Retrieving your unlock codes:

1. Log into your myGarmin account
2. Select Manage Maps
3. Select Details
4. The unlock code is located under the Installed Maps.

The Garmin Maps require a map unlock code in order for the GPS to be able to open/access it. Since the maps are copyright protected by Garmin you should of recieved the unlock code from Garmin when you purchased the new map update.
