Magellan is hyping MapSend DirectRoute North America version 3.0. This software provides automobile navigation through their recreational handheld GPS receivers. The new version features updated street maps in the USA and Canada plus an enhanced POI database.
Magellan is indeed pushing this software. It’s even bundled with some of their GPS units, but there is a problem. The bundled version requires that you use a website with a coupon code to ‘buy’ the unlocked version. The problem? The website dosen’t work, hasn’t in weeks, and Support cannot provide a date other than to say ‘Several weeks’. Even Technical support cannot provide the unlock. Shameful!
Strongly agree.
Today is 18th of April. I call Europe center.
They tell the same thing. “Wait for two or three weeks and try again.”
Seemingly, the solution lies on their webpage software, and they can not solve such tiny issue.
Customer problems mean nothing to the company?
Has anyome ever got resolution to this?
I just picked up a 500 le (cheap) brand new, never registered, in sealed box. But cannot “unlock” the mapsend…which is supposed to be free with included CD…
Thanx, Bill
