How to Update the Garmin Vista
- 1). Visit the Garmin website -- specifically the section which contains the appropriate updates for the Garmin Vista (see "Resources") -- and click on "Download" before choosing a folder into which you want to save the file to your computer.
- 2). Follow the instructions of the download wizard and allow the download to complete. Now go to the location where you saved the file.
- 3). Locate the update file and double click on it. This will launch the Win-Zip Self-Extractor, which extracts the update file from the "Zipped" folder it is packed into for ease of download.
- 4). Click on "Extract" at the top-left of the Win-Zip program. You will be given a destination; by default this is "C:\Garmin," but you can change this location. Click on the "Close" button to exit the Win-Zip Self Extractor once the extraction process is complete.
- 5). Connect your Garmin eTrax Vista to your computer using your Garmin PC USB cable. Now turn the GPS on.
- 6). Open the "C:\Garmin" folder, or whatever folder you un-zipped the files into, and locate the file named "Updater." Double click on that file.
- 7). Look for the eTrax Vista next to the "USB Device" option on the "Updater" program window. Click on the "USB Device" option and then click on "OK" on the "Updater" program window to begin the update.
- 8). Disconnect your product from the PC safely once the update process is complete; it is now fully updated.
