From your Tread 2 device, select Tap to Connect to Computer.

When your Tread 2 device prompts you to enter file transfer mode, select Continue.

In the Garmin Express application, click Add a Device.

The Garmin Express application searches for your device and displays the device name and serial number.

Click Add Device, and follow the on-screen instructions to add your device to the Garmin Express application.

When setup is complete, the Garmin Express application displays the updates available for your device.

Select an option:

To install all available updates, click Install All.
To install a specific update, click View Details, and click Install next to the update you want.

The Garmin Express application downloads and installs the updates onto your device. Map updates are very large, and this process may take a long time on slower internet connections.

NOTE: If a map update is too large for the internal storage of the device, the software may prompt you to install a microSD^® card in your device to add storage space (Installing a Memory Card for Maps and Data).

Follow the on-screen instructions during the update process to finish installing updates.

For example, during the update process, the Garmin Express application may instruct you to disconnect and reconnect your device.
