Installation Instructions – Please note, Per Garmin’s Instructions, it is recommended to back up all user data prior to completing any update.

Power on the device and make sure all attached network devices are powered on as well. Insert the card into the card slot of your primary device. Select ‘Update Software’ in the window that automatically displays. After the update completes, all Garmin Marine Network devices and NMEA 2000 sensors will have the latest software. This ensures all of the devices will be able to communicate with each other.

Note: If you have additional chartplotters connected to NMEA 2000 and not the Garmin Marine Network, you will have to independently update each chartplotter. After the update of the Garmin Marine Network completes, insert the update card into each NMEA 2000 chartplotter.
