Information about USB Drivers

The USB drivers should have been automatically installed when
you installed the MapSource program that came with your 276C
Plus. When you initially connect the 276C Plus to a USB port, your
computer may 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 276C
Plus when it is connected. USB drivers may be updated periodically.
You can fi nd these updates at www.garmin.com.
