How to Update a Sanyo GPS

Sanyo GPS map DVDs update both street maps and the device's points of interest offerings.

A GPS navigation system is only as good as the maps it uses to give you directions, and outdated maps can bring you headaches as you try to reach your destination.



When it's time to update the maps in your Sanyo GPS, you'll need to purchase the upgrade DVD from Sanyo. From there, it will take about an hour to install the new maps onto your device.

Things You'll Need

• Sanyo map update DVD
• Personal computer
• USB cable to connect your Sanyo GPS to your computer

Instructions

1. Make sure your Sanyo GPS is turned off. Connect the GPS to your personal computer using the device's USB cable.

2. Power on your GPS and wait for verification that it's connected to your computer. You should see "Connected to PC via USB" on the GPS screen.

3. Put the map DVD into your computer. Run the install program, and follow the prompts. You will need the serial number of your GPS unit, found with the bar code on the back of the device, and the program's license key that came with the DVD.

4. Install the new maps on your GPS device, and disconnect it from the computer.
