Latest version is V6.70. Don't update if V4.40 is working ok for you.

You need to convert to Garmin's proprietry *.img format. There are programs available such as MapWel which convert Google's *.kmz files however I haven't played with that for many years and I think there may have been changes made to google's format. Maybe look at OSM maps, perhaps they could suit your needs: [Please Register or Login to download file]

Any Garmin device that uses a media card can read a compatible custom map named gmapsupp.img in a Garmin root folder of the card [i.e. x:\Garmin\gmapsupp.img]. That's universal. Some devices can also read maps with <any_name>.img in a Garmin or Map folder of card or various names in .System or Map folder on device itself.

I haven't checked but maybe you won't need to patch the firmware [not the device itself as such] if you stay at V4.40. Certainly from at least V5.00 you'd need to patch to allow permanent use of Unicode maps such as Europe NTU City Navigator maps and some Topo maps.

If you mean it shows a dealer's logo instead of the standard Garmin boot logo, you can replace it quite easily for most devices by dumping it's rgn16 and replacing the image using GIR_Editor. [Please Register or Login to download file]
