Simon:
I can't really answer your above two questions, because I don't really understand what it is you are talking about.
When you get cartography (map CD's) bundled with a GPSR at the time of purchase, you also get an unlock code that allows you to install the cartography on that specific GPSR. The unlock code is tied to the specific serial number of the GPSR that you buy.
You can purchase cartography (map CD's) apart from a GPSR, meaning, you can buy the CD's standalone. But, be aware that not all of the product families support automatic route creation on the GPSR.
When you get CD's with a new Garmin GPSR purchase, they will be either the 'CityNavigator' or 'CitySelect' family, both of which support autorouting on the GPSR, and both of which use the serial number unlock process. You can buy 'MetroGuide' CD's standalone, these do not support autorouting on the GPSR, but they do display the roads, etc. on the screen of the GPSR.
Sounds to me, Simon, like you just pirated a copy of a 'MetroGuide' CD, and installed it on your GPSR, and now can't figure out why it does not support autorouting. Is my guess correct?
