SmartDrive 50 Map probs
Got hold of a friends Drive 50 who asked me to put on Eastern maps for him. Managed to live update Western maps to NTU 2019.02 which I do believe is installed on .system but no matter what I try I am unable to install any other map. I have City Navigator Europe NTU 2018.20 Original MapSource which I installed and unlocked then exported selected eastern maps trying both Mapsource and customize Mapinstall. I tried putting the gmapsupp.img on internal and external sd card and .system and although Garmin Basecamp sees and recognized the file the unit will just not accept it. It just says Cannot authenticate map files, corrupt. Ive also tried downloading a pre unlocked image but this too gives same results.
When checking these files using Protected Garmin file toolkit_2254_x64.exe they are reported as valid and unlocked.
Can anyone please clarify whats going on. Ive spent hours on this.

Sat nav has security protection. You have to upload patched firmware for Garmin SmartDrive 50 first then you will be able to install custom maps.

Sorted it thank you. Found a post by FireFox58 to downgrade this model firmware first. Not used Garmin for some time.

I guess you refer to this my Post:
Yes, that is the SD Package for your Device.
About Eastern Map I suggest you to take in mind my Post here: This Map is the natural complement of standard WESTERN EUROPE Map, however present at the post above the previous link.
