Information about USB Drivers
The USB drivers are automatically installed when
you install the MapSource Trip and Waypoint
Manager software that came with your eTrex.
When you initially connect the eTrex to a USB
port, your computer might prompt you to locate the
destination of the drivers for the device. You only
need to install the drivers once. After the drivers are
installed, your computer always detects your eTrex
when it is connected. USB drivers might be updated
periodically. Find updates at: www.garmin.com.
