You are done, your device is unprotected, now you can use every kind of unlocked maps (NTU too).
NOTE: to flash a firmware update in the future, just patch the new gupdate.gcd and flash it normally with Webupdater (drag&drop the file in Webupdater shortcut on desktop) or copy gupdate.gcd in the sd or in .System.

Remember to remove any previous gupdate.gcd in your device, before flashing any updates.

You can't use updater.exe because it doesn't support the most of sports model now. But it does not matter in your case. Express could help but there is no released version of software on Garmin servers. I had checked it directly and I can confirm this fact. Probably you have a new model and initial version was 300 that is based on APAC and Japan SW for a more older device. You need wait for a release of next version and make a request.
