    I quote him:

    The device does not allow me to load any unlocked maps and neither the maps of the "Mapear" project of Argentina.
    First he is trying to use Garmin official maps that he said they are unlocked which will not work on the Smart Drive 65 in the first place.

    (Garmin_Nuvi has also told him DriveSmart 65 cannot be patched to use unlocked maps.)

    Second if he has a problem with "Mapear" project of Argentina maps then contact both the "Mapear" website and explain his problems to them in regards to these free maps on the Smart Drive 65. Just maybe they have a work around.

    Plus contact Garmin and ask them why "Mapear" free maps do not work on a Smart Drive 65.

    Doing ones homework save a lot of headaches.

    So if he does exchange the Smart Drive 65 for the Smart Drive 61 he will still have to patch it and if he gets it wrong no dough he will be asking for help to fix the Smart Drive 61 because it does not work.

    Just tested some of my Free maps and they all work on my Smart Drive 61 with no problems at all.

    As I do not have these "Mapear" maps I would think they would work also.
