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 load software updates onto a memory card using the 

Garmin Express application (

garmin.com/express

).
