into a directory on your hard drive. (i.e., c:\garmin).
- Unzip the files
into this directory by running the executable file (.exe).
- Connect your GPS
unit to a free serial port (Com 1, 2, 3, or 4) on your PC with a PC
Interface cable.
- Turn on your GPS
unit and ensure the Interface setup is set to "GRMN/GRMN HOST," "GARMIN,"
