I have a Nuvi 2689 LMT with an HWID of 1772
I would be most grateful if someone could confirm that this is what I need to do and if there are any newer instructions ?
Thank you

Patching is to allow the device to use shared unlocked maps.
Firmware versions are advanced to stop people accidently overwriting the Patched Firmware with the original 8.80 when using Garmin Express for other updates.
Your are not using the "Thumbs Up" button so we cannot see which maps you have downloaded.
Please do not use a PM to ask questions, that's what the forum is for and everyone can learn from the posts.

So the test map didn't work. Did it show up in My Maps,did you get an error ? where are you putting the gmapsupp.img ?bobber77 wrote:Hello, somehow that doesn't work either. The patch is installed, but I can't install the map and can't just use it.
It would be nice if you could give me step-by-step instructions. Or are they here in the forum?
Thanks
