Transferring Files to Your Device Using a Computer

  1. Connect the device to your computer.

    Depending on your computer operating system, the device and memory card (optional) appear as either portable devices, removable drives, or removable volumes.

    NOTE: Mac® operating systems do not detect the device by default. Garmin Express™ software can be used to perform device updates, but you should use a Windows® operating system to interact with files on your device.
  2. On your computer, open the file browser.
  3. Select a file.
  4. Select Edit > Copy.
  5. Open the portable device, drive, or volume for the device or memory card.
  6. Browse to a folder.
    NOTE: Most file types have a named folder within the Garmin® folder.
  7. Select Edit > Paste.

    The file appears in the list of files in the device memory or on the memory card.
