Appendix
Connecting your Astro 220 to a Computer
Before connecting your Astro 220 to your computer you
must install the USB drivers contained in the MapSource
Trip & Waypoint Manager software.
NOTE: Install the supplied MapSource Trip & Waypoint
Manager software on your computer before connecting
the USB cable to the computer. Follow the instructions
for installation and operation provided with the software.

Information about USB Drivers

The USB drivers are automatically installed when you
install the MapSource Trip and Waypoint Manager
software that came with your Astro 220. When you
initially connect the Astro 220 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 Astro 220 when it is
connected. USB drivers might be updated periodically.
You can update at: www.garmin.com.

To connect your Astro 220 to your computer:
1. Lift the USB protective cover from the back of the
Astro 220, and insert the smaller connector on the
USB cable into the matching port.
2. Connect the remaining cable end to your computer's
USB port.

Transferring Data to a microSD Card

Many of the Astro 220 navigation features require
detailed mapping data in order to be fully operational,
so you may want to purchase and transfer maps before
using the unit. A microSD card (provided by the user) can
be loaded with detailed maps from optional MapSource
disks for your computer to enhance the versatility of
your Astro System. With selected MapSource detailed
mapping data, you can view listings of nearby restaurants,
lodging, shopping centers, attractions and entertainment,
and even retrieve addresses and phone numbers for any
listed location. To achieve the best terrain details, when
hunting, use Garmin U.S. Topographic maps. The amount
of data transferable is limited to the capacity printed on
the microSD card.
