Maps Upgrade for Garmin 2620

[Steve CDN]

What's the procedure for upgrading the maps using the newly released CD for the Garmin 2620.  After the CD is bought, is there an unlock code and is there a procedure to be done online with Garmin?  If several people own a 2620, can the cost of a CD be shared and installed on each person's 2620?

When you get the DVD (not a CD, you need a DVD drive), you go to the Garmin web site and purchase an unlock code.  You will need your 2620 serial number.  You cannot share the unlock code but you can share the DVD.  The DVD is free, the unlock code is $150.

The update procedure is to load the DVD and follow the instructions.  The update takes up to an hour.
