Well, you've got the software that allows you to create your own maps. We're just discussing whether the actual map sent by Uprev should be editable by the end user. I like the ability to change small things without an entire new tune, but I understand why they lock them. It's not ideal, but it's the easiest way to ensure the end user doesn't hurt their vehicle inadvertantly or share IP/ trade secrets.

Uprev's maps are far cheaper than the competition's maps. Are you willing to pay 4-5 times the cost of the map for the ability to tweak it? For $50, I'd just email new data logs to uprev and have them update my map. You can do that multiple times before you have spent as much as some others charge for a single map.
