As already posted, the "solution" doesn't work for me. When trying to use mapinstall (which is also how basecamp installs maps) I get maps locked notice eventhough maps are unlocked in basecamp.

Again, not an immediate help for you but just one more option.

I second that. Send your unit to Chris Short at Shorttronics AKA Palm Doctor. There are 2 options available. An 8 gig or 16 gig memory upgrade. I did the 16 gig and the entire north American mapset is installed on my 665. I have used Chris for a few repairs now. He is fast, courteous, and knowledgeable. You can't go wrong sending your unit to him...
