When registration is complete, the Garmin Express application searches for additional charts and chart updates for your device. When you add devices to the chartplotter network, repeat these steps to register the new devices. Software Update NOTE: You can use the ActiveCaptain app to update the device software (Updating Software with the ActiveCaptain App, page 7). You may need to update the device software when you install the device or add an accessory to the device. The Garmin memory card reader accessory is sold separately. This device supports up to a 32 GB memory card, formatted to FAT32. Before you update the software, you can check to the software version installed on your device (Viewing System Software Information, page 59). 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 65), and then update the device software (Updating the Device Software, page 65). Loading the New Software on a Memory Card You can copy the software update to a memory card using a computer that is running Windows® software or a Mac® computer. 1 Insert a memory card into the card slot on the computer. 2 Go to garmin.com/support/software/marine.html. TIP: You can also download updated owner's manuals to load on the chartplotter from this web page. 3 Select GPSMAP Series with SD Card. 4 Select Download next to GPSMAP Series with SD Card. 5 Read and agree to the terms. 6 If you are on a Mac computer, select Go to Mac download page. 7 Select Download. 8 If necessary, choose a location, and select Save. 9 Double-click the downloaded file. 10If you are on a computer running Windows software, select Next, select the drive associated with the memory card, and select Next > Finish. 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. 11If you are on a Mac computer, copy the Garmin folder to the root directory of the memory card. The software update can take several minutes to load onto the memory card. After loading the update onto the memory card, install the software on the chartplotter (Updating the Device Software, page 65). Updating the Device Software Before you can update the software, you must obtain a software-update memory card or load the latest software onto a memory card (Loading the New Software on a Memory Card, page 65). 1 Turn on the chartplotter. 2 After the home screen appears, insert the memory card into the card slot. NOTE: In order for the software update instructions to appear, the device must be fully booted before the card is inserted. 3 Follow the on-screen instructions. 4 Wait several minutes while the software update process completes. 5 When prompted, leave the memory card in place and restart the chartplotter manually. 6 Remove the memory card. NOTE: If the memory card is removed before the device restarts fully, the software update is not complete.

Using different cables voids your warranty. You can connect the chartplotter to a computer to see the computer screen on the chartplotter touchscreen and control the computer using the chartplotter touchscreen. To see the computer screen, you must connect the computer to the HDMI IN port. To control the computer, you must connect the computer to the USB port. The Garmin HDMI accessory cable (010-12390-20) is 4.5 m (15 ft) long. If you need a longer cable, you should use an active HDMI cable only. You need an HDMI coupler to connect the two HDMI cables. The GarminUSB accessory cable (010-12390-10) is 4.5 m (15 ft) long. If you need a longer cable, you should use a USB hub or USB repeater extension cable only. You must make all cable connections in a dry environment. Appendix 65
