Map upgrade procedure

Each customer can request a license for one map only through our automatic license system. The license will provide authorization for a map equivalent to the one originally included when you purchased the product. For example in the US, a Breeze customer is allowed to select a US regional map and a Trekker Pro customer is allowed to select the full country map.

Other requests such as obtaining a second map for European countries, or a country map for Breeze in US, will require a manual request through the customer service.

To obtain Trekker maps, customers must follow the steps described below:

  1. Access the Humanware license site at: http://license.humanware.com/. Please have your product serial number and your e-mail address on hand.
  2. Obtain a license by subscribing to the Humanware license site. Users will need to select their device (Trekker or Breeze), then enter its serial number and your email address.
  3. Customers must choose the map to download and submit the request. One map per serial number is allowed.
  4. Humanware will send an email containing the password-protected link to download the new map. A high speed connection is recommended.
  5. Follow the instructions to download the selected map from the FTP site.
  6. If you do not receive the email with the download link, you can login to the license site, “My licenses” page, and request a copy of the secured link by selecting the Breeze or Trekker device and confirming "download".

Customers with larger maps (US, for example) can request the maps on DVD at a cost of 14.99 US$ shipping included.

It is also possible to request the map installed on the SD card at a cost of 20.00 US$ plus shipping.

Offer ends September 30, 2010.

Map 3.2 and Map Manager 2.0.9 will be shipping with Trekker units.
