Using the Manage Maps Feature in Garmin Express for the Tread

The Tread® GPS Navigator and all models in the Tread® series include additional mapping at no cost. You can use the Manage Maps feature in the Garmin Express™ software to add or remove available maps from your device. This can be helpful if you accidentally removed needed map files from your device, or if you would like to change which maps are currently installed.

If you need to reinstall maps currently installed on your automotive device due to an issue with the map, or the Manage Maps option is not available, see Reinstall or Change Map on an Automotive Device instead.

• This includes road maps (City Navigator), Points of Interest, and topographical maps
  

• The Tread® 2 GPS navigator can install and Manage Maps using Wi-Fi. See Managing Maps on the Tread 2 for instructions.
