Unlock Garmin Maps On An N95

Using the Garmin Mobile XT software, it is possible to add navigation capabilities to a smartphone, such as the Nokia N95. Garmin's map products, called MapSource, display turn-by-turn directions on compatible devices. If you have purchased a MapSource product for use on the Nokia N95, it must be unlocked before use. MapSource products come with either an 8-character coupon code or a 25-character code for unlocking.
