Same Problem At first now red x showed up. Map data is there but it does not use it because, according to vantage point, the map is not authorized and cannot be used with attached GPS receiver or SD card! Such garbage.

    I understand what a red x means. The point is that it was bundled with the gps. Its a known issue to magellan and yet they did not fix it. I talked to support to work through this and finally got one to admit it was a known issue. And yet they still sell the Canada topo bundle and wait for the customer complaints instead of A) Sending the store a replacement for the sd card B) Recalling the units or C) providing online link to maps (which they have). They will send you a replacement card as it is there obligation to do so.

A red "X" means that the map file which has a serial number is not the same serial number as the GPS you are trying to run it on.

This is not garbage this is a copyright protection scheme that prevents people from sharing maps which cost money to produce.

So either 1) purchase a set of software that will code to your GPS or 2) create your own maps that do not require any codes to operate.
