Hello. Unblocked navi 2659 lm everything ok. My question; I have a map 2019.10. Can you now navigate to connect to a computer under Garmin Express and download the map 2019.20 with a free update?

with the Garmin express you will do again download of the new firmware so you may need again patching

In case of flashing of a new version of the Original Firmware the Patch must be repeated, so you have not run Garmin Express with device connected as the software update first Firmware Device if any available. Do one of the following alternative ways:

Methode 1 (with device NOT connected)
  1. Get file GarminDevice.xml from your Device (you find it in folder \Garmin)
  2. Put the file in a Removable device, as an SD Memory or an USB stick (8 or 16 GB) in folder \Garmin
  3. Run Garmin Express, your Device will be recognized as well
  4. Do all the Update you want (when GE ask you to reboot device, simply secure remove your memory from PC and reinsert again)
  5. When Update finishes you will have ALL the files you need in the memory, simply move them into device.
  6. Using this Tip you have all the vantages of Garmin Express, without any problem of bricking, and you leave the Firmware release untouched

Methode 2 (with device USB connected)
  1. With the device connected GE copy new Firmware Update (if any available) into device and ask for reboot
  2. Do not remove the device (this is very important) but move GUPDATE.GCD in your PC (you find it in folder \.System)
  3. Patch your Firmware using Firmware Patcher. You get a file renamed as GUPDATE_Patched.GCD
    This file must be renamed as GUPDATE.GCD and copied onto device overwriting the existing one
  4. Now you can surely reboot your device. The Firmware loaded will be patched as well

It's not surprising the link has expired...you're talking about a post that was made 18 months ago?

Garmin Montana, as all Outdoor device doesn't have \.System folder.
Moreover, Montana 610 doesn't have GSV protection, so you need simply to patch firmware and flash it with WebUpdater as described in Post 1.

DriveSmart 61; HWID 2588; SWVS 4.50

Followed the instruction, and according to Updater.exe flashed the firmware successfully, but GPS doesn't boot past the initial Garmin logo with message "System Software Missing". I tried going back to original unpatched firmware. Updater says operation was successful, but GPS stays the same.

Any advice is welcomed.
