Can i please get a patch for Garmin Drive Smart 60, HWID 006-B2268; SW version 530

You have PM

Good evening.
I have Nüvi 1240 and i also have downloaded unlocked map for europe. I would love to replace the map inside the device ( I don't use any external memorycard) with the one i have downloaded. I am quite anxious to do that. Because i understand that there is the possibility that i break the device, right. So would you, mr. Kolokythas, give me any assistance/tutorial to do that? Because i am not sure (at all) whether i have to patch gupdate.gcd or not and so on.
I'd like to thank you in advance for your understanding and help.

Below you can find the information you need from my device (I took it from the file garmindevice.xml) :

<Model>
<PartNumber>006-B0971-00</PartNumber>
<SoftwareVersion>630</SoftwareVersion>
<Description>nüvi 1240</Description>
</Model>

And in the folder .System (of the device) i have these files:
- gmapbmap.img
- gmapbmap.sum
- gmapprom.gma
- gmapprom.img
- gmapprom.sum
- gmapprom.unl
- gmaptz.img
- gmaptz.sum
- GUPDATE.GCD

Hi! Only new mainly devices need patching of the firmware in order to recognize unlocked maps yours is old one so you do not need to patch your gupdate.gcd firm.
You just download and copy in your device one unlocked map and rename it as gmaprom.img the gmapprom.unl do not need it anymore the rest of the files you leave them.

Hi, is there a way for Garmin to upload another navigation such as IGO Truck or Sygic?

waiting for your precious help!

Sorry to bother you, but can you patch HWID: 2087 - Nuvi 57. Thank you!
p.s. I think firmware is 4.50.
Can't I just patch the file which is already on the device?

P.S. P.S. OK, i've got the downloaded and patched file converted to .rgn.... now where to find updater.exe?

I've done it!
Instructions are a little messy, but it was a success I found updater.exe over here https://connectedwiki.com/unlock-update-garmin-essential-sat-nav-series/

Folowed the instructions by "Old_fart" in the first page in this thread for my model - Nuvi 57.
