How to Install Software and Map Updates to My fenix 6S Pro, Pro Solar or Sapphire Series Watch

Along with updating your watch software, Garmin Express will automatically check for any map updates including TopoActive, SkiView and CourseView. In order to check for software updates and to apply any map updates, do the following:

2. Launch Garmin Express
3. Select your watch
   • NOTE: If this is your first time using Garmin Express, see - Adding and Removing Devices in Garmin Connect. If you are experiencing issues with Garmin Express not finding your watch see " "
4. Garmin Express will then display the available updates. Select Install or Install All
   • Review and accept any prompts for Terms and Conditions or Important Notes.
5. Once complete, disconnect your watch from the computer and the watch will ask if you want to Install Now or Install Tonight. If you do not receive this prompt, or if you select "install tonight", you can still access the update from the System menu on the watch:
