How to use Garmin Express?

The update process can be reduced to three simple steps: first, we have to install the latest version of the software, connect the GPS to our computer through a USB cable, wait for Garmin Express to detect the GPS, search for updates, and install them. The application will first try to install its software updates and will then move onto map packages compatible with that model in question.

Just like in all cases that involve official applications, Garmin Express might have certain problems when it comes to connecting to your device and updating maps. You might be displayed a message saying the program can't connect to the service running in the background and it will shut down all of a sudden. Why? That's due to synchronization problems depending on the version installed or due to the absence of a WiFi connection. Check both things and try again.
