Thanks.

Firstly you will need to Patch your device to use Unlocked maps.

Second your device uses NTU maps for Europe
Finally start using the "thumbs up" button so we can see where you have downloaded from.

Unfortunately it looks like Drive, DriveSmart 52,55,65,71 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.

Edit: Thank you Works perfectly.
Being in version 880, I had not dared to try to try the 810.
Finally I can use my Christmas present.
No map of my country by default when purchasing.
Thanks again.

The patch above you quote is only a Patch for BirdEye JNX NOT for Maps img
Finding & using your HWID to search has been mentioned repeatedly, using 2299 in "search topic" at the top of the page includes the solution to addi51 problem

@GarmanNuvi
I could not work on this for a long time. But now it is ok with the file in your link directly sent on the device internal memory. The maps work fine.
Indeed, I think I did not use the good .gcd file (not possible for me to use the patcher because I am on a Mac. I tried on my old PC but the link for the patcher on the first post is dead).

Thanks for the help.

For a feature use you could use virtual box or vmware tools in order to use in a virtual machine windows programs on Mac

Hello;
I have a Garmin 64S GPSMAP with an SD card the Topo France V2. A friend with the same device with a more recent Topo offered me this one, but my GPS says: "Unable to authenticate the cards. Contact the dealer for help". My friend informed me that there was a program that was supposed to unlock reading for my GPS. When is it exactly and how to get this program. Thank you.

Bonjour;
j'ai un GPSMAP Garmin 64S avec une carte SD le Topo France V2. Un ami ayant le même appareil avec un Topo plus récent m'a proposé celui-ci, mais mon GPS m'indique: "Impossible d'authentifier les cartes. Contacter le revendeur pour l'aide". Mon ami m'a informé qu'i existait un programme qui serait censé débloquer la lecture pour mon GPS. Quand est-il exactement et comment se procurer ce programme. Merci.

Welcome to the forum, please use English the forum language.
If you are talking about Garmin Topo France v6 Pro, did your friend buy it or download it from here

There is a later version of Europe for your device.
You will also have to Patch your Device to use Unlocked maps

Not sure what mode you are talking about, but it is very important you have the HWID specific Kit or you are likely to Brick your device.

Thanks for your info. I am a dummy when comes to working with the software.
I download the (DRİVEASSİST 51 (2590) FW6.20.RAR).
This is the info I don't know about, (it is very important you have the HWID specific Kit or you are likely to Brick your device). What is this HWID specific Kit? I don't know what to do. I am reading the info but I need to have certainty of the steps to do next. I will download City Navigator Europe NTU 2022.20 FID 9138 and after what steps can I take.
I appreciate your help.

Thank you

Check your garmindevice.xml in your Garmin folder to confirm your HWID is 2590
PartNumber>006-B2590-00</PartNumber>
<SoftwareVersion>620</SoftwareVersion>
<Description>Garmin DriveAssist 51</Description>

Then only if confirmed :
Make sure your device is fully charged.
Unpack contents to fresh SD card formatted FAT32
Ensure your device is fully OFF (not in standby), insert the card in device and power on.
"Loader" will appear on screen for a while then the device will boot up when the flash of patched firmware is complete.
Your device may reboot its self during the process just be patient.
Your SD card will have a new file named 154.bin this is a backup of the device's non-volatile memory region and may save your device later if needed, so keep a copy of it somewhere safe.
