Installing the Latest Software Updates to Your Legacy Outdoor Handheld
Software for your handheld should be kept up-to-date to take advantage of improvements and bug fixes. Updates are free and easy to install.
To update your software, the Garmin WebUpdater program will need to be downloaded and installed. WebUpdater checks for software updates each time you connect your handheld to the computer and launch the program.
NOTE: Serial port devices can also be updated using WebUpdater, but they are not compatible with Windows 10 and newer, or Mac computers. They also require cables and cable drivers that we no longer have or support.
