Garmin How To Unlock Maps Hack

Step1: Power off your Garmin eTrex device. Step 2: Hold the Up + Page keys simultaneously. Step 3: Power up the unit by holding the abovementioned keys. This should take you to the service mode, where you can see the internal temperature of eTrex. You can also find several interesting values including firmware version, current time, status, and system’s integrity check. Warning: Pressing “on/off'+'enter'+'up' keys will result in a hard reset and restore the factory defaults, thereby clearing all the data/personal user info, and any other custom settings on your eTrex. Note: You can’t undo any of the factory restore, and you won’t get any warning because this is only for testing/service purposes.
