nuvi 650 urgent help needed !

i knowthis is not the correct topic...but i need help!
could somebody help mi out with my nuvi 650 euro? i have received it from my brother as a gift...but without any unlock code or paper, due to the fact that they have lost it. The card it in is an old but original sd hungarian map card... my questions:
- Could i unlock it to have any other navigation software on it?
- After i switch it on i get an info on the top of the screen that GPS is off, why is it?
It is very urgent to make it refresh and work because i am travelling in a week!

Maps can be found here http://www.navitotal.com/forums/showthread.php?1183-All-new-maps Programs probably can be found in the program sub-section. Sorry that I can't be more help.

No, you cannot.
But you can update the maps by some you find here, simply by placing them on sd when your device has not the needed memory. Or by replacing the ones in memory (risky !!)

mods comment: quoting a post and giving the answer to a question in a way it don't show is a bad idea! I highlighted your answers. (color red)

You need to go to the Main Menu, then go to Tools, then to System. Set the GPS Simulator to OFF.
