I have already downloaded this file, but it seems that there is an error in my file. The navigator is not flashed with it. My firmware is 4.50, HWID 3725, but the firmware does not start. I flashed it via WebUpdater, and tried to place the file in the folder manually

Second question, please tell me.
Is it possible to patch ECHOMAP UHD2? I read that it is supposedly impossible

That's what I've read too. I don't know any more about Marine devices than you do.

Good day everyone!
Looking for a way to get my GPSMAP 65s to read unlocked maps.

Hi everyone, I'm new here and need some help.

I have a Japanese BMW Motorrad Navigator VI with the following info:
<PartNumber>006-B2842-00</PartNumber>
<SoftwareVersion>280</SoftwareVersion>
<Description>BMW Motorrad Navigator VI</Description>

The device is region-locked — no language options except Japanese, and I can't use European maps.
I'd like to install the latest European firmware (3.30 I believe?) and enable full language and map support.
Unfortunately, the stickied link seems broken. Could someone please share working firmware and instructions? I'd really appreciate your help!

Thanks in advance!

Your current device firmware is Patchable to use unlocked maps.
Have you tried to add language files with Garmin Express or WebUpdater. Using the wrong Firmware can brick your device.

Have you tried to add language files with Garmin Express or WebUpdater. Using the wrong Firmware can brick your device.

After resetting the device and connecting it to Garmin Express and WebUpdater, I updated all available software and installed the Russian language pack.

As a result:
Region selection still only includes the USA and Asian countries.
Text language selection offers only English and two Asian (likely Japanese/Chinese) options.
Russian is available only in voice options, but not for menus or interface.

Can someone please advise how to fully unlock the language and region settings (e.g. enable Russian for text/interface and Europe in region list)?
Thanks in advance!

From ur 1st pic i have 2nd firmware...
