Connecting the Device to Your Computer

You can use the Foretrex® navigator as a USB mass storage device by connecting it to your computer with a USB cable.

  1. Turn the D-ring counter-clockwise, and pull up to open the rear cover.
  2. Plug the small end of the USB cable into the USB port on the device.
  3. Plug the large end of the USB cable into a computer USB port.

    Depending on your computer operating system, the device appears as either a portable device, a removable drive, or a removable volume.

    NOTE: Mac® operating systems do not detect the device by default. You must use Garmin Express™ software to interact with files on your device.
