Software Update Methods for Outdoor Handhelds
Garmin often releases software updates to improve performance, correct operational issues, or add new features.
Most Garmin handhelds can be updated with the Garmin Express™ program on a computer, but some older devices are not compatible with the program. Select models with Bluetooth or Wi-Fi capabilities can even be updated wirelessly. For a list of devices and what programs can be used to install software updates, refer to the compatibility lists below. For how to update dog tracking handhelds, see - Installing Software Updates to Dog Tracking Handhelds and Compatible Collars.
The Garmin Express program requires the use of a computer running Windows or Mac and checks for software updates automatically each time you connect your Garmin device to the computer.
For specific instructions on updating your handheld, see - Help with Product Updates.
Some Garmin handhelds can be updated wirelessly when connected to Wi-Fi or with a compatible Garmin app via Bluetooth (listed below). If software updates are available they will be downloaded and synced to the handheld automatically behind the scenes. Once the available updates have been downloaded, it may take up to 48 hours for the handheld to prompt you to install the update.
No additional steps need to be done apart from setting up Bluetooth or Wi-Fi on the handheld, nor are there any steps that can be used to expedite these types of automatic updates. For steps on setting up Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, refer to your owner's manual. If you wish to install software updates immediately, or if you need to install map updates, Garmin Express must be used.
