Then, you can go to garmin.com/support /software/marine.html, select See All Devices in this Bundle, and compare the installed software version to the software version listed for your product. If the software on your device is older than the one listed on the website, follow the steps to load the software on a memory card (Loading the New Software on a Memory Card, page 41), and then update the device software (Updating the Device Software, page 41).

A Garmin folder containing the software update is created on the memory card. The software update can take several minutes to load onto the memory card.
