1. By entering your email address register your sat-nav only when it requested to do so.
2. Secondly, we recommend you that use Garmin Express only if you have a reliable and good broadband connection. We said this because some of the Garmin maps files are huge and take a lot of hours to download from Garmin.
3. During the Procedure of updating on your device, you might ask to disconnect your sat-nav from PC and turning it back on (reboot it). It is essential to let this Procedure complete – don’t tempt to switch off/on your device even not then when it looks like nothing is going or happening. The Procedure of software update can take a lot of time to complete so kindly have some patience.
4. If the battery is flat then, it is advisable not to update your sat-nav, make sure it should charge.
5. If sat-nav may not have sufficient space for the map update then, you can choose a smaller region. It will fit on your device, either you insert a micro/SD card into your sat-nav to hold the maps. For this, we suggested you use 4 GB SD card for that. Otherwise, you can’t purchase a different country map from here.
