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 ?

Same question answered post190612.html?hilit=GPSMAP%2066S#p190612

Very simple plug in your device to your PC and use Drag & Drop with WebUpdater to update device with Patched firmware

No,there is a extensive thread on Universal Firmware Patcher for Protected Garmin Devices
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 ,Alpha 200i, Montana 700 are all in the same category.
No solution as the Universal Firmware Patcher does not recognise the new encrypted format.

And if I may ask a further question. You mentioned that I'd need to patch the 61 device to allow this to work with the unlocked maps. What exactly does this entail? and what state would it leave the 61 in? thanks in advance

The Patch allow the device to use Unlocked maps, and does not effect the ability to use Garmin Express to update the original maps it has a Lifetime subscription for.

Hi ,

I tried to load the fully unlocked HXAE009R-v2022.5 BLUECHART with my echoMAP UHD 62cv, seems like I cannot run with the unlock BLUECHART. Is it possible to patch it?

Not sure what you are agreeing to as my Post above shows there is a working link !
Using the software yourself is not going to have a good out come as a novice ,use an SD card Kit it's simple

The HWID is what defines the compatible Patch ,use the wrong Patch & most likely brick your device. :022:
Confirm your HWID is 2588 from the garmindevice.xml from the Garmin folder on your device.
