Safely Ejecting Your Garmin Device From a Computer
Safely removing your device before unplugging it from a computer is a typically recommended process to follow. This is especially important after updating the device or sending data to a device. The write-caching feature on some computers may not have completely built or transferred the data to the device even though the transfer appears to be complete. Properly ejecting the device ensures all the information has been transferred.
