      Go to Garmin's website then download and install the Webupdate application.

      You just plug in your Nuvi into your computer's USB port and run Webupdate.
      There's no place like 127.0.0.1

        Okay na po, mga bro. I already updated my nuvi 680 from SW 3.2 to 4.8. It took me 20 mins. to update.

        Anyway, thank you for the help.

          if possible, i would like to recommend updaing the unit by downloading the firmware first, then copying to to your nuvi. this lessens the risk of possibly damaging your unit by a suden loss of internet connection.

            Thanks for the recommendation. Good thing that I have a DSL at home & it didn't take long for me to update the software.

                You can't. Demo map is for mapsource viewing only and for you to check your planned contributions against the updated map to avoid duplication. For the meantime (until you attain contributor status), please install the free standard map in your nuvi... HTH

                  hi sir,

                  you cannot put the demo to your nuvi. it can only be install on mapsource and serve as reference if and when contributing data

                  good day sir
