I just bought a Garmin Drivesmart 61. It came with NA Lifetime update. I am going to Europe (Slovania) in May and would like to take it with me. I understand that this GPS came locked. I tried to install the same Eurpean map that I used last year in my old Nuvo but no joy. I was looking at this tread and tried to see if i could unlock it. Again, no joy. When I connect my Drivesmart to my PC or my laptop, I do not see the GPS system folder containing the gupdate.gcd file in windows explorer. I do have the folder option to see system files checked and hidden files checked also. I tried holding the top left corner when I booth it. It shows "system" then "loading" then the GPS just booth normally. I tried it with the USB cord plugged in and also unplugged. Same thing. Could you give me a hand with this? I would really appreciate it.
Thanks

To see the \.System folder, as the Device is an MTP device, you should enable Mass Storage USB
1- touch the Velocity Icon in the Map browsing screen to get Trip Panel
2- press and hold for about 10 seconds the Direction/Velocity indicator until a hidden Diagnostic Menu appears
3- scroll down to "MTP Settings", select "Mass Storage" and Save settings
Now the \.System folder shows

The update for Garmin Drive 51 was published yesterday.
Agree to be quick but give me time to download it.
Of course I'm joking, tomorrow I see to prepare it
