Did you try ?
1). Nuvi <== USB==>Computer
2). in Mass storage ==> Edit Garmindevice.xml ( US hwid to be CHN hwid )
3). Run webupdater.exe
4). See what you will get ... CHN Keyboard

I tried this way for Sg/My hwid and can get .kbd files from webupdater.

I try. Unfortunately, it does not work. My Webupdater goes to US Garmin website only. I do not know how to update my Nuvi at other countries websites. Can somebody share cn_TW.kbd or cn_CH.kbd file of Nuvi 1xxx?

I checked with a GarminDevice.xml, didn't work for me either.
The only one i can offer is the kbd files for 37xx, maybe it works, but no guarantee

Unfortunately, the kbd files for 37xx do not work for my 1490T.
