connecting it to a computer.

adapters for smartphones, tablets, or portable media devices 

may be compatible.

range of the Wi

Fi network until the update process is 

complete.

TIP: 

if a map update is interrupted or cancelled 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.

Updating Maps and Software with Garmin Express

install the latest map and software updates for your device.

on your computer, go to 

garmin.com/express

 and follow the 

on-screen instructions to install it.

2

Open the   Garmin Express application.

3

Connect your device to your computer using a mini-

USB cable.
The small end of the cable connects to the mini-USB port 

À 

on your Garmin DriveAssist device and the large end 

connects to an available USB port on your computer.

4

When your Garmin DriveAssist device prompts you to enter 

file transfer mode, select

• 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

, page 26

).

8

Follow the on-screen instructions during the update process 

to finish installing updates.
