You will need at least 1 MB of available space on your hard drive. For convenience, you may wish to copy this file to a GPS sub-directory (for example, C:\GPS\LOADER).

The file is available in a compressed format with password protection; Customer Service will provide you with the required password. After copying the file to your computer, it must be decompressed. The syntax for decompression is as follows:

Syntax:

[filename] [password]

where filename is the name of the compressed file (but not including the .EXE extension) and password is the password required to allow decompression

Example:

oem1001 12345678

WinLoad.exe	WinLoad utility program
HowTo.txt	Instructions on how to use the WinLoad utility
WhatsNew.txt	Information on the changes made in the firmware since the last revision
XXXX.hex	Firmware version upgrade file, where XXXX = program version level (for
	example, 1001.hex)
