Map and Software Updates
For the best navigation experience,
you should keep the maps and
software on your device up to date.
Map updates provide the newest
available changes to roads and
locations in the maps used by your
device. Keeping maps up to date
helps your device find recently added
locations and calculate more
accurate routes. Map updates are
large and may take several hours to
complete.
Software updates provide changes
and improvements to the device
features and operation. Software
updates are small and take a few
minutes to complete.
You can update your device using
two methods.
• You can connect the device to a
Wi‑Fi® network to update directly
on the device (recommended).
This option allows you to update
your device conveniently without
connecting it to a computer.
• You can connect the device to a
computer and update it using the
Garmin Express™ application
(garmin.com/express). This
option allows you to install map
data onto a memory card if the
updated maps are too large to fit
on the internal storage.
Vehicle Profiles
WARNING
Entering your vehicle profile
characteristics does not guarantee
that your vehicle's characteristics will
be accounted for in all route
suggestions or that you will receive
4 Quick Start Manual
the warning icons in all cases.
Limitations may exist in the map data
such that your device cannot account
for these restrictions or road
conditions in all cases. Always defer
to all posted road signs and road
conditions when making driving
decisions.
Routing and navigation are calculated
differently based on your vehicle
profile. The activated vehicle profile is
indicated by an icon in the status bar.
The navigation and map settings on
your device can be customized
separately for each vehicle type.
When you activate a camper vehicle
profile, the device avoids including
restricted or impassable areas in
routes based on the dimensions,
weight, and other characteristics you
entered for your vehicle.
Adding a Vehicle Profile
The vehicle profile is an optional
feature that provides routing based
on the height and weight of large
vehicles, such as campers or trailers.
If you have a large vehicle or if you
are towing a trailer, you should set up
a vehicle profile. You can set a
vehicle profile for each vehicle
configuration used with your
Overlander device.
