I reckon it's patched Geoff. The [so called] V8.21 firmware is just patched V8.20 renamed so you may see some references to V8.20. Open your EU map in [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] like i suggested [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]. If you see the 'L' anywhere under 'prio' then run [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] on the map, or just run it anyway 'cos it can't hurt even if run multiple times on an already unlocked map img file.

can't unlock maps
I downloaded GMap Tool and gimgunlock. I ran the img file (called mapsupp.img) from my sd card (about 4 Gb) over the gimgunlock icon and there was a flash of numbers. I then opened GMap Tool and put the .img file in it.
It didn't appear to be the same format as in your instructions, but there was not an L to be seen.
I put the sd card in my 2689 and started it. 'Can't unlock maps' appeared on my screen. I can see the .img file in a Garmin folder as a separate drive on my pc.

Which gimgunlock version? is it the latest gmgunlock+mapsigpatch?

IMHO If you get the first, the firmware is not patched. If you get the second, your map is not unlocked properly: Wrong unlocker used, map is still signed.
You have to navigate to get to the good.

Hi Caty, sorry for the delay. I only get the 'can't unlock maps' message, so I'm guessing the patch Neil sent me worked!
I am unable to access my maps at the moment (wrong city in Oz), but will do some research in the next few days and get back to it then.
Hi Guys, success at last - I think! I followed the procedure from scratch using Caty's map. The original map seemed to be corrupted (post 28). I now get the 2689 to show the EU map in 'my maps'.
I then downloaded and extracted the accessory files and put them in my Garmin folder as shown below. Is this right?
I do believe I'm getting closer to a solution, and a 'solved' sticker.
Is there any way I can tell if the supplementary files (JCV, ASR etc) are working?
