how to unlock maps on my nuvi 2689?
If you have read the whole thread, you would have come across the answer to your question several times. Just for clarity, I will repeat it here:
To date, unlocked maps will not work on nüvi 2xx9 devices. Either use OSM maps, or buy an official map.
Hello,
I am leaving to UK (London area) this weekend and I was given a brand new Nuvi 55 (firmware 4.50) with maps "CN North America NT 2016.20". I am totally new to Garmin as I previously used iGO Worldwide (where adding a map was a matter of uploading a correct file onto device). Is there any chance to install a UK map onto this Nuvi?
I am aware of this topic:

but I have no idea which map would be accepted by device.
P.S. I am traveling quite often all over the world, so a way to upload maps of any country would be very much appreciated. Also I have only 2GB SD Card, so some files simply won't fit there.
Unlocked NT (not NTU) maps works fine with 4.50 firmware. You just need to use gimgunlock+mapsigpatch to unlock the .img.
Thanks, catymag. I have downloaded "City Navigator Europe NT 2016.20" already. What I am missing is an instruction on how to install these unlocked maps onto the device. I am sure it is available somewhere on this forum, but I could not locate it.
I guess you have a sd, well download the unlocker, drag and drop the .img in it, rename the .img as you like (CNEU.img for example) then copy in sd/Map/anyname.img.
You are done

Bouy am I glad I bought 2 Nuvi 50s some years ago.
My orig is still going strong as ever with any unlocked maps and my unused other waits patiently in it's box to be called upon whenever...

Hi anyone can help please, seem people mentioned can update nuvi 55 to v4.40/v4.50 but Webupdate only see v3.10 for my set and I have already updated to that. Mine is an asia nuvi 55 with PCB part number 105-02340-00. Anyway for me to update to v4.50?
Asian nuvis have different firmware, different HWID, you can't flash US/EU firmware.
