Information About USB Drivers
The USB drivers should have been automatically
installed when you installed the MapSource program
that came with your GPSMAP 76Cx. When you
initially connect the GPSMAP 76Cx 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 will always detect your
GPSMAP 76Cx when it is connected. USB drivers
might be updated periodically. You can find updates at
www.garmin.com.
