Connecting the GPS 60 to Your Computer
The GPS connects to a personal computer with either a USB connec-
tor cable or a serial port cable . You must connect to a computer to load
Garmin MapSource data. Refer to the MapSource User’s Guide provided
with your MapSource CDs for instructions on installing and loading
MapSource data to your GPS 60.

the smaller connector on the USB cable (provided with the unit) into
the matching port.

computer has more than one USB port, use the port on the back of
your computer for best results.
