Nuvi 760 doesn't need any Patch, simply use Unlocked Maps.
If Device doesn't see Map it means that Names and/or position of them are wrong
I would add some informations ...
Nuvì 760 accept up to 4 Maps (only Maps and anything else) in folder \Garmin, their Names are:
gmapsupp.img, gmapprom.img, gmapprom1.img, gmapoem.img
An additional Map should be placed in microSD , folder \Garmin, name gmapsupp.imgLast edited by Garmin_Nuvi; 22nd June 2020 at 03:03 AM. Reason: Combined posts

Hi guys,
So, Ive just bought myself a fenix 6 sapphire, and have obtained a unlocked copy of the Garmin City Navigator 2020 map. I've used MapInstall to generate what looks like 2 .img files on the watch, but when i switch the watch on, i get a message saying it cannot unlock maps. Am i missing something here, or is there something else i need to do? My watch is running fw version 9.
Please don't flame me btw! I'm relatively switched on tech wise, and I have read a load of forums this evening. However, garmin, maps, unlocking etc etc is all really new to me. I only got the watch on Saturday, lol :-)

Welcome to the forum,
Not all devices are able to use unlocked maps,some require patched firmware to use Unlocked maps.The Firmware Fenix6Pro_900.gcd is not being recognised by the Firmware the Patcher ,so unfortunately it looks like your device is unable to use Unlocked maps at this time.Last edited by Garmin_Nuvi; 23rd June 2020 at 05:17 AM.

Thanks. That makes sense, as I noticed someone mention on one forum that the firmware is encrypted or something?
What i'm actually looking for is a good quality map for Europe that I can use for automobile navigation mode on my Fenix. The Topo maps don't provide that function and you just get a straight bearing line to your destination, which is very frustrating.

The TopoActive maps that came pre-installed are compiled using the community-generated OpenStreetMap (OSM) database.You can use OSM to create Auto routing maps

Thanks guys.
@Firefox58 - That image works a treat on my watch, thanks. What is strange though, is this one works and is unlocked, whereby the img files I generated (from the NT 2020.30 gmap folder) didn't. Is there step I perhaps missed? Essentially I uploaded the map to my Fenix 6 with MapInstall, which converted them to the .img format.
@Garmin_Nuvi - Thanks, got your map working on my watch. Is it a routable map created via that website based in the Netherlands that you mention?
I must say, i'm used to rooting phones, re-imaging stuff etc etc, but garmin mapping is very odd haha!
