Please, I have a Drivesmart 66. I have a 32G microsd card. I loaded some unlocked maps using "Mapinstall", but when I turn on the Garmin, it says the maps are corrupted. Do I need a firmware patcher? If so, is there a currently working link and clear instructions?. I downloaded something above called "nuvi 25x9 (1758) fw 8.80.rar" but I don't know it's right nor what to do with it. I'm very confused and a lot seems quite outdated. I also have a Nuvi 3950- would that be easier? Thank you.

Hello, I think it's the same situation as 55 65 76 86 | of the new Garmin devices, at the moment there is no solution.

Welcome to the forum.
gajevi52 is correct your DriveSmart 66 has encrypted Firmware .
Firstly no other firmware patched or not will work unless you need a "Brick"
I assume you mean a nüvi 3590 ,the way you find out if a device need patching is to look inside the garmindevice.xml for the HWID
<PartNumber>006-B1258-00</PartNumber>
<SoftwareVersion>850</SoftwareVersion>
<Description>nüvi 3590</Description>
</Model>
Then search this topic using your HWID
If it is 1258 it does not need patching

Thanks a lot. Giving up on the Drivesmart 66. The Nüvi 3590 worked:
I dl'd City Navigator Europe NTU 2026.20. I didn't know what the "cure" folder was, but it didn't matter. I went into "PC install Unlocked" and ran CityNavigatorEuropeNTU2026.20Update.msi which installed the maps to my PC. From there I was able to use the "MapInstall" app to install the maps onto the the Nuvi and successfully tested. The only trouble I has was that I instructed the install to be on my HDD, but it went onto my SSD anyway. So I'm uninstalling everything from the PC because it takes up too much space.

Hello,

I've successfully installed the patch firmware I downloaded onto my tablet. However, when I try to load the maps I have, they don't display.
Could someone help me out?

Thank you.
