You can update the maps and software by connecting your device to a Wi‑Fi® network that provides access to the Internet. This allows you to keep your device up to date without connecting it to a computer.


Connect the device to a Wi‑Fi network (Connecting to a Wi‑Fi Network).

While connected to a Wi‑Fi network, the device checks for available updates. When an update is available, Update available appears on the Settings icon in the main menu.


Select Settings > Updates.

The device checks for available updates. When an update is available, Update Available appears below Map or Software.


Select an option:

  • To install all available updates, select Install All.

  • To install only map updates, select Map > Install All.

  • To install only software updates, select Software > Install All.


Read the licence agreements, and select Accept All to accept the agreements.

NOTE: If you do not agree with the licence terms, you can select Reject. This stops the update process. You cannot install updates until you accept the licence agreements.

Using the included USB cable, connect the device to external power and select Continue (Charging the Device).

For the best results, a USB wall charger that provides at least 1 A power output is recommended. Many USB power adapters for smartphones, tablets, or portable media devices may be compatible.


Keep the device connected to external power and within range of the Wi‑Fi network until the update process is complete.
