To date, unfortunately not. See (amongst others) post #438 and #439 here: [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

Damn... Anyone working on it?

anybody finally ws able to do something to be able to use unlocked maps on Nuvicam?

[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

I tried that but got message as below...

Processing file C:\garmin cams temp\FirmwarePatcher370\nuviCam_370 (2).gcd

Firmware version as specified in GCD file: 3.70 for Unknown device (HWID 2043).
Firmware name: Firmware version 3.70 for Unknown device (HWID 2043).

This firmware does not seem to support BirdsEye Satellite Imagery.

I downloaded latest patcher and it was succesful patch .
I put patched file gupdate.gcd to sd card into folder Garmin and restarted.
After garmin did update... loaded files etc.
But after restart same text coming as maps are damaged...
Same unlocked map on sd card working well on another garmin 2459

Do I need to use updater if I loaded same firmware via sd card?

Quite regardless that nuvicam doesn't even support use of BirdsEye images, the Universal Firmware Patcher has nothing to do with patching firmware for using JNX files without a BirdsEye subscription anyway because it's only for patching firmware to use unlocked detail maps.

You need to go back to the thread and read very carefully the first post there. Your nuvicam has both MSV and GSV protection, this from the fw_list.txt file:

Code:

Therefore because of the GSV (GCD Signature Verification) protection meaning the device with ORIGINAL fw onboard will look for a valid signature in the update GCD file, you cannot patch firmware INITIALLY using a GCD file, it must be in preboot with an RGN file using Updater.exe and then for later version firmware updates you can use a patched GCD. Read the initial post of patcher thread for more detail. If the GCD file had been loaded from the SD card, you'd have seen 'Loader' or similar message on the device screen before you see it loading files such as maps.

I don't know what device you're referring to as "garmin 2459" but it may not have protected firmware or if it does have, it maybe does not need patching in preboot initially because it lacks GSV protection.
