How to update a Garmin GPS

If you're ill at yelling in Siri or pulling around to search for an address, an onboard GPS device is wildly useful. Just say where you want to go and boom, you are well on your path. However, your Garmin device needs to have an existing list of all mapped streets and highways so as to be effective. We have all heard of a scenario where your GPS begins taking you down a dark road that twists and turns till you find yourself at a dead end.

Luckily, maintaining your GPS unit updated is simple, especially with Garmin's Express software which basically reduces it to plugging the device into your computer and allowing the software to work its magic. You can use Express whether you have got a Drive, DriveAssist, Zumo, Nuvi, or some other version from Garmin's lineup. Here is an easy, step-by-step guide about the best way to update a Garmin GPS.
