NOTE: You should use the ActiveCaptain app and a mobile device to register the device (Getting Started with the
ActiveCaptain App, page19).

1 Install the Garmin Express app on your computer (Installing the Garmin Express App on a Computer,
page179).
2 Insert a memory card into the card slot (Memory Cards, page7).

The chartplotter opens the card management page and creates a file named GarminDevice.xml in the
Garmin folder on the memory card.
4 Remove the memory card from your device.
5 Open the Garmin Express app on your computer.
6 Insert the memory card into your computer.
7 If necessary, select Get Started.

bottom of the screen.
9 Create or sign in to your Garmin account.
10 Follow the on-screen instructions to set up your vessel.
11 Select > Add.
The Garmin Express application searches the memory card for the device information.
12 Select Add Device to register the device.
When registration is complete, the Garmin Express application searches for additional charts and chart
updates for your device.
