Garmin Drive Smart file format for new region maps

Hi,

Can anyone let me know how files should look to be added to a Garmin drivesmart? I have applied new firmware so it will take unlocked maps apparently but the format looks totally different from the nuvi.

Garmin 61LMT-S SmartDrive Trip Advisor

I understand that Smartlink must be paired with Android phone in order to use Trip Advisor or FourSquare on nuvi 61LMT-S Smartdrive.

I have both the 2018.20 img file, and it's piece parts (JCV, etc.) as well as the "City Navigator North America NT 2018.20.gmap" folder structure.
