Wireless Map and Software Update Instructions

A wireless connection is an easy way to keep the software and maps on your navigator up to date.  To ensure a smooth and successful process, we recommend:

  1. Connect to a home high-speed internet (Fiber, Cable, DSL, etc.) with a stable Wi-Fi network.

  2. Keep the device plugged into a power source.

  3. Do not interrupt the update process.  A software update may take a few minutes, while a map update may take several hours.

Before you begin, let's talk about some things to avoid:

  • Wi-Fi connections in a workplace may not be successful.  Companies may restrict downloads on their network.  
  • Connections with data caps or restrictions should not be used due to the size of a map update.
  • Slower connections (satellite, fixed wireless, dial-up, etc.) and mobile broadband (MiFi, AirCard, mobile hotspot, cell phone tethering, etc.) should not be used.
  • Not all captive portals will be compatible with Garmin devices.  See Using a Wi-Fi Device on a Captive Portal for additional information.
  • See Not Enough Free Space for a Wireless Update if your device states there is not enough space for the wireless update.
