Awesome.
I have sent a message to the seller to see if he can de-register the unit. Haven't heard back yet...
If he can - great, if he can't (or wont') i'll call Magellan.
I can give them evidence of me purchasing it (ebay) and hopefully they will be of assistance.
For the time being, i'll keep using it as I think it's a handy piece of gear, and just upload through the Strava portal using an attached USB cable to upload the .gpx file
Not always ideal, but still useable if that's the way it has to be in my situation.
Lesson learnt for me (i'm reasonable experienced with ebay sales and communication) I didn't realise these things needed to be registered to an owner for them to work with full functionality.
