    you need to patch firmware which will remove new protection and than you can use any unlocked map..

    It's not necessary to patch the firmware of the nuvi 52, it does not contain MSV.

    Hello everyone! Could a Europe map be placed on a Garmin 52LM USA device? If so, in what way?

    Sure, just copy/paste unlocked img. If you get the message that the maps cannot be unlocked or that are "damaged" than you also have to patch the sw...this is yet another story which unfortunately cannot be discussed here on this forum (forum policy regarding Garmin topics).

    From other sources:
    - Yes for a nuvi 52, you will need to use an SD card.
    - Not for a Drive 52

    Obviously you can purchase them from Garmin directly
