I'm new to the garmin section and have been reading through some of the threads but there's a lot of info to take in and I'm not the sharpest tool in the box with stuff like this.
Your nuvi 55 will need to be Patched to use Unlocked maps,confirm your HWID is
1697 by looking in your garmindevice.xml
<PartNumber>006-B
1697-00</PartNumber>
<SoftwareVersion>560</SoftwareVersion>

software/universal-firmware-patcher-for-protected-garmin-devices-t17987-585.html?hilit=1697#p179329I'm trying to figure out if I could put up to date UK maps on a Nuvi 55LM that currently has southern EU maps installed (15 southern EU)
The sat nav has lifetime maps but I guess that refers to the southern EU map, I can't see garmin allowing me to get the UK maps for free, so I guess it would be something like putting the maps on my old Tom Tom ?
Gratefully for any advice on this.
Cheers.
The nuvi 55 does come in a budget version with regional Lifetime map updates, Southern Europe among others.
The good news is once your device is Patched you will be able to use any Unlocked map shared here ,even the whole of Europe with the use of an SD card.
or replace the current map on the device with
UK & ROI
