Device Maintenance

Map and Software Updates

For the best navigation experience, you should keep the maps and software on your device up to date.

Map updates provide the newest available changes to roads and locations in the maps used by your device. Keeping maps up to date helps your device find recently added locations and calculate more accurate routes. Map updates are large and may take several hours to complete.

Software updates provide changes and improvements to the device features and operation. Software updates are small and take a few minutes to complete.

You can update your device using two methods.

• You can connect the device to a Wi‑Fi network to update directly on the device (recommended). This option allows you to update your device conveniently without connecting it to a computer.

• You can connect the device to a computer and update it using the Garmin Express application (garmin.com/express). This option allows you to install map data onto a memory card if the updated maps are too large to fit on the internal storage.

Connecting to a Wi‑Fi Network

The first time you turn on the device, it prompts you to connect to a Wi‑Fi network and register your device. You can also connect to a Wi‑Fi network using the settings menu.

Using the included USB cable, connect the device to external

power, and select Continue (Charging the Device, page 19). For the best results, a USB wall charger that provides at least

1 A power output is recommended. Many USB power adapters for smartphones, tablets, or portable media devices may be compatible.

Keep the device connected to external power and within

range of the Wi‑Fi network until the update process is complete.

TIP: If a map update is interrupted or canceled before it completes, your device may be missing map data. To repair missing map data, you must update the maps again using either Wi‑Fi or Garmin Express.
