Not sure what you are agreeing to as my Post above shows there is a working link !
Using the software yourself is not going to have a good out come as a novice ,use an SD card Kit it's simple

Hi there, I have a drivesmart 61 and would like to patch it to use unlocked maps. Can you advise what firmware I should apply? thanks SD
The HWID is what defines the compatible Patch ,use the wrong Patch & most likely brick your device.
Confirm your HWID is 2588 from the garmindevice.xml from the Garmin folder on your device.
