Download the appropriate self-extracting archive file onto your hard drive.
Unzip the files in the archive by running the downloaded executable file.
Connect your unit to a free serial port (Com 1, 2, 3, or 4) on your PC with a PC interface cable. Note: Not all Garmin products have PC interface cable accessories. For many fixed-mount marine applications, the user will need to build an appropriate cable to accomplish this.
