Although this software is believed to be reliable, it has not yet been released for production and should be used at your own risk.

Connect your Forerunner 225 to your computer using the USB cable.
Download and unzip Forerunner225Beta.zip. Place the gupdate.rgn file in the \GARMIN folder of your device's internal storage drive.
Disconnect your device from the computer, approve the update on the watch, and wait for the update to finish.
If you would like to revert to the last public release software, follow the above steps but place the gupdate-270.rgn file in the \GARMIN folder. Rename the file to gupdate.rgn before disconnecting your device. NOTE: When you revert to an older version of software, all of your settings will be reset to defaults.
