got my copy of GPSNavX this wee, ordered the maptech charts I wanted, which arrived this morning....
stuck the dvd in, went through the activation routine, and got them activated all tickety boo.
Then I realised, possibly too late, after I'd installed them at home on my desktop machine, that I've maybe dropped a clanger
when I use the charts in anger so to speak, its going to be on atotally differnt machine, ie the one on the boat. but I wanted to be able to play at home, sort out routes, wapoints etc
now... whe I come to copy the charts over to the machien on the boat... none of the activation codes are valid.. shades of Quark xpress and machine specific Installation ID's perhaps??
does this mean I'm now totally screwed, as I've installed the charts one machine, so won't be able to use them on another?
