Version 7 and earlier had 2 unlock codes but starting with ver 8 and then
ver 2008 you only get 1 unlock code. It's kind of confusing because Ver 8
was really 2007 maps and then they changed it to Ver 2008 for the 2008 maps.

I thought tho that you could install the maps on 2 devices with the one
unlock code.

Jeff is right. The Trip and Waypoint manager is not locked and contains
no maps. It is meant to transfer WP's, routes, and tracks between
mapsource and the GPS (both ways). Mapsource is the program that handles
the interface between the GPS and also any maps, such as City Navigator.
The older versions of the maps were called Metroguide. That is why you
can update mapsource free but the maps aren't updated unless you buy an
updated set of maps. They normally come out once a year in August.
The current City Navigator maps only have 1 unlock code, and it's
assigned to your Quest, so you can't put in another unlock code and load
the maps on a different GPS. I think Garmin will sell you an additional
unlock code over the phone but it's about the same price as just buying
another copy, or about $100-125.
I don't know how you're going to get around that problem cheaply because
the unlock code(s) and GPS serial numbers are registered on Garmin's
website so it seems impossible to beat the system.
