Garmin GPS devices rely on software and map information to deliver accurate guidance and positioning information to users. To ensure that your Garmin has the most up-to-date software upgrades and maps, use the Garmin WebUpdater utility. The WebUpdater application automatically searches for upgrades and additional maps for your device, downloads the necessary files and installs them directly to your unit for free.
Step 1
Open an Internet browser and visit the WebUpdater download page (See "Resources" below.) Click the "Download" button to download the application to your computer.
