Hi everyone,

I recently bought a Gpsmap 64S for my hiking with the Topo france V5 map which works well but I see that the latest V6 version has added a lot of small paths in my area, so I downloaded the latest version of the map but it didn't work either on basecamp or on my gps.

I see here that I need to patch my device, so if any of you can help me with this, I'd be very grateful.

Below is the information on my device :

Thank's again,

Thanks for your help GarmanNuvi !

I hadn't thought about the possibility of a search, sorry.
I'm a beginner in both GPS and forum use.

I put the file on a 32GB SD card formatted in FAT32 but the device didn't boot on it, it turned on normally. I tried putting the file directly into the device's internal memory, and it took a little longer to boot, but there was still no "loader" message.

I've just tried relaunching with the SD card containing the unlocked map, but the device is still blocked.

Have I forgotten a step?

Sorry if I have missed an answer , been 'off-site' for some years. Is there a version for the Garmin Zumo XT2 (brand new model) - hoping to add North America to my EU version just purchased?

I moved your post to this thread ,as it covers your question.
For a few years newer device's firmware could be patched (determined by their HWID) to use unlocked maps, since the DriveSmart 65 the firmware has been encrypted on these later devices.
Unfortunately it looks like Drive, DriveSmart 52,55,65,66,71,76,86, zumo XT & XT2 ,Alpha 200i, Montana 700 are all in the same category.
No solution as the Universal Firmware Patcher does not recognise the new encrypted format.

Hi all I am new user in forum and with Garmin and sorry for the question but Is this unlocker can be used on Garmin GPSMAP 66S and do I need to do something special before unlocked ?

Welcome to the forum, don't apologize for asking questions.
It's important you confirm your HWID is 3028 by looking in your garmindevice.xml

For example, you can post your g3 chart in the 'New Maps' section of this forum and I'll try to unlock it completely

Any chance you can fully unlock these maps for the forum ?
