Welcome to the forum.
As your Drive 61 is a later model it will need to be Patched to use unlocked maps.
Look inside your garmindevice.xml to confirm your HWID is 2567
<PartNumber>006-B2587-00</PartNumber>
<SoftwareVersion>680</SoftwareVersion>
<Description>Drive 61</Description>
Then use these City Navigator Australia & New Zealand maps

No need to Patch again as long as you have V 6.80
Your Device is capable of using both NT & NTU maps. Your device if sold in Europe comes with NTU maps and using them would give you a better experience.
You can have both EU & AU-NZ on the same SD card.

Hi,
Thanks for the info. I got my unit in South Africa. Can I use the folder structure as per the image 'Drive 61 AUNZ NT (Is the folder structure complete). I will install in the units memory as the original 'City Navigator South Africa' is on the SD card.

Thanks again for the being so helpful

I don't normally recommend using the internal memory as if some thing gets corrupted it's much harder to fix than when it happens on an SD card.
This is the structure for the devices internal memory .system is a hidden folder. Rename the map file like I have AUNZ.img so it has a Unique name.

Thanks again!

Would the structure be the same if I used a new SD card? Also, Is there no JCV folder?

Yes the structure will be the same as in the Picture for
You can have both EU & AU-NZ on the same SD card.

JCV files where stopped for many devices but if you want let me have a copy of your garmindevice.I'll see your SA model can get them.
