Dated access to sd card

 

Hello, I am trying to find out how to limit access to the SD card on my 2557LMT to a specific period of time, 60 days. I believe this could be done as an addition to the string that identifies the sd card serial number and locks it to the unit. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance! Spacetrucker50

Welcome

Welcome to the site.

Before getting too deeply into a question posted by someone new to the site (in your case a "Dated Access" problem), we usually recommend the following.

There is a Getting Started button in the upper right of this page right under POI Files. It is worthwhile visiting this page.

To make navigation easy, most browsers provide the following option. When you want to follow a link - but still keep your current page open - you can hold down the "Ctrl" key as you left-click on a link. That action will open a new "Tab" in your browser up on the "Tab" bar. When you then left-click on that new "Tab", you will follow the link - leaving the "Tab" you are now reading open and available to click on and return here.

So, using the "Getting Started" link, you might try the "Ctrl" - left-click sequence and then return here. You can return by either "X-ing" out of the "Getting Started" page (using the "X" on the "Tab" itself) or just left-clicking on the "Tab" for the page you are on right now.

Since you are new here, I encourage you to go through a couple of the Tutorials.

The first link makes sure the settings on your computer are such that you can do more advanced POI loading.

The next link helps you make a backup of your GPS by attaching it to your computer. (NEVER do anything to your GPS until you have a backup)

Now, I am not aware of any way to limit access by date to a SD card. Is this a SD card you bought from Garmin - since you speak of an identity string that locks it to the unit?

What would be your purpose in "Dated Access"?

I'm not clear are what you're trying to do either.
Obviously it has to do with a Garmin product since you say it's on your 2557LMT's SD card.
Are you having problems unlocking a map on your SD card?

Kindly give us more information on what you're trying to accomplish.
