Wireless Map and Software Update Instructions

To successfully complete a Wi-Fi update, a wireless connection to home high-speed internet (Fiber, Cable, DSL, etc.) is required.  Due to the size of a map update, connections with data caps or restrictions should not be used. Slower connections (satellite, fixed wireless, dial-up, etc.) and mobile broadband (MiFi, AirCard, cell phone tethering, etc.) should not be used.
