Hello All,

I am new here and I have a Garmin DriveSmart 61 device. I tried to follow the instructions as closely as possible.
1. Downloaded the files
2. Copied them under the respective folders in a FAT32 formatted 64 GB SD card

When I tried to switch on the device, it recognises that there are new maps to be installed but it ends up with an error that says something like "The mas files are corrupted" or something along the lines.

Could these files work with DriveSmart 61 or does it require more steps?

Thanks for your help in advance. Appreciate your help massively

This is the model info from the XML file

There are only [Please Register or Login to download file] with JCV now with Garmin Express
Full Europe :Europe NTU ALL North Europe NTU ALL South

Custom maps created with MapInstall/Mapsource do not have associated JCV files.

Can I install the Europe files and delete the South files from the GPS and copy the North from the SD card to the GPS?

Hi GarminNuvi!
I's for car nav: Lancia Thema 2011, unit Uconnect CTP12 with old factory CN Central Europe maps.
It is based on NUVI 36xx or 37xx series.
As I remember it uses half screen JCV files, not full screen.
But a wile ago some one wrote, that those files are no longer supported.
Is that right?

I have got all the files for full Europe map (S and N) but that is too much for this unit as it has only 8 gigs memory.
So the only way is to create my own custom map with MapSource or MapInstall? I can do it myself.

These are the PhotoReal/split screen Junction view files for a nuvi 37xx,the JCV that Garmin stopped are for basic devices like nuvi/Drive 5x etc
D6212320A.jcv
D6165320A.jcv
North gives you.

I can now answer my own question that it is possible to delete southern Europe and copy northern Europe to the internal memory of the GPS.

Hi! I don't know if here is the right place for this question, but can CN maps be added in GPSMAP 67 like I can add it in my 64st? Thanks!

Hi! I'm trying to install the UK & ROI from Post#1 in my SD card. Do I have to rename the D2968450A.img file? And what for are the SID and SQLite files and where they need to be copied?
Thank you very much in advance. I'm new at these topics.

To use these unlocked maps your device will need to be Patched. I'm guessing you have a Lifetime map update for another European region, its worth checking to see if Garmin up dated your device to [Please Register or Login to download file] first.
If you want make a copy of your garmindevice.xml and put it into my [Please Register or Login to download file] and I'll check it out.

I have Lifetime Southern Europe from fabric. But following your link, it seems that Garmin is not updating any Europe map, only America and Asia appear there. That's why I was asking for single UK region, not included in my map. Am I right? Is the patching operation fast? I'm leaving to UK next Sunday... Thanks!

Look inside your garmindevice.xml to confirm your HWID

<SoftwareVersion>590</SoftwareVersion>
<Description>DriveSmart 50</Description>
Then go to the Patching thread and use your HWID in search this topic to find the correct Patch for your device.
