    Above you can find previous versions of firmware.

    First backup your complete nuvi including the hidden /.system folder (Wise thing to do on a monthly basis)
    Then delete gupdate.gcd inside the hidden /.system folder (this file is your 7.9 firmware file)
    Download the 7.80 gcd file from the link supplied ubove (nuvi24x5and25x5_GCDFile__780.gcd)
    Connect your nuvi to the computer make sure that it is set to mass storage mode.
    Open the Gdc file with Webupdater and it should transfer the file to your nuvi.
    After it has finished you need to disconnect nuvi from PC, Switch it on and it should flash as per a normal update.

    Another method is to rename nuvi24x5and25x5_GCDFile__780.gcd to gupdate.gcd and then copy the file to the hidden /.System folder.
    After Nuvi is switched On it will flash.

    There is a third method which is to use updater.exe and to flash in pre-boot mode. (This is used mainly for bricked Nuvi's and is not necessary at this stage)

    If you mean you're using a US 320 and DC50s in UK that would be illegal. The function was stopped in V3.60 firmware [Disabled dog tracking when used in countries for which the radio frequencies are not authorized]:

    You can downgrade to V3.40 and try that:

    What a lot of Greeks have done to roll back to a previous unlocked firm with Astro 320 is to downgrade with this order:

    4.30>4.10>3.80>3.60>3.40

    But you have to open the device after every firm flashing to complete the procedure & then start all over again.

    So, after several trials, it's time to share my experience with rolling back the firmware.

    My Nüvi is 2597, software version 7.6 and GPS firmware: 5.08.11, all updated with Garmin Express.

    I wanted to do the rolling back so I could install, through Mapsource, a topo map into my nuvi, or other kind of maps.

    I tried the tutorial from #catymag "How to reverse back your Garmin unit to a previous FW version", but I was not successful in any of the parts.

    first, the part:
    "Run WebUpdater without disconnecting the nuvi as rebooting the device will re-generate the GarminDevice.xml file restoring it's correct values. Upon checking for a new version (and finding one since you've fooled it into thinking that an earlier version is on the unit), there will be a link to an "additional info" webpage. Click on the link. "
    second:
    (...)connect the gps to the PC's USB port and allow it to be detected. Now drag the downloaded file to your WebUpdater icon. "
    " Also did not work

    Then, thirdly, I tried a different approach, from #dasilvarsa: "Another method is to rename nuvi24x5and25x5_GCDFile__780.gcd [example] to gupdate.gcd and
    then copy the file to the hidden /.System folder. After Nuvi is switched On it will flash."

    Mu nuvi always stayed with the same version, 7.60, no flashing.

    By the way, the only link that works, to download files with previous firmwares, is
