Installation Instructions
- It is recommended that you disable screen savers or other programs running on your PC while you go through the update process. Disruptions to the update process may render your device inoperable. If the transfer is interrupted, turn off the device and then turn it back on - the unit may not display anything at this point. Go to step #5 and attempt the download again. Garmin is not responsible for failed downloads of operating software to the device and factory resetting the device unit will fall under our Flat Rate Repair Policy.
- Click on "Download" and choose to save the file to your computer.
- Choose a location where you can easily locate the file by saving it to a location such as the "My Documents" folder or to "C:\".
- Once the download is complete, go to the location where you saved the file.
- Locate the downloaded file and double-click on it. This will launch the Win-Zip Self Extractor. This program compresses the data to allow for a faster download of the needed files.
- A program window will appear prompting you to select the 'Setup' button to install the new device software. Pressing this button will automatically run the 'Updater' program which is used to load software into the unit.
- Connect your device to your computer using a Garmin PC Interface cable to an open serial port. Turn the device on and verify that the Serial Data Format found under the Settings->System->Interface page is set to GARMIN (refer to owner's manual for instructions).
- Click on the 'OK' button on the Updater program window to start the data transfer.
System requirements
- IBM-compatible PC running Windows 2000 or later operating system and an available Com 1, 2, 3, or 4 port.
- PC Interface Cable for your GPS unit. The PC Interface Cable may be purchased through your local Garmin distributor or ordered direct from our Online Store.
