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 always detects your GPSMAP 76Cx when it is connected. USB drivers might be updated periodically. You can find updates at www.garmin.com.
