Yes, like Richard says, plug gps into pc. Download and install "Base Camp" on your pc. Then you can either click the Icon at the top Base Camp tool bar to "send to device", or click on "device" and then "send to device". Some of the maps (City Navigator) have to be unlocked on line. Be careful, gps's will only hold a limited amount of maps. The Garmin Montana 650T will only display maps if there are less than 3,000 downloaded on it. 24K Region Topo maps have thousands of maps on them so you should only select areas you think you will need and download those maps. Too many and the gps will not work. All else fails, call Garmin support. They are pretty helpful.

As far as I remember you have to enter a code and then download the program. Edit: I see from my review I had problems with the file and ended up having to buy a DVD. I wasn't the only one though I don't know how prevalent the problem is now.

:-( Couldn't say, I'm located in a country which has no access to downloads; I bought the CD, and I own a laptop only. Sorry :-(

If you do not have access to a network where you can access the contents of the DVD ... then you will have to purchase an external DVD drive

There's a CD that you load that allows you to sync. You might be able to download the program off the internet.

Yes, just plug your memory card to the computer and open it with windows media player. Anything else that's not the actual [program will only show you the video. The program will show you the video, GPS and speed.

The unit must be connected to a computer to download updated maps and software. With the Nuvi hooked up to a computer, go to the Garmin website and check to see if you have updates available. The process is easy to do but may take a little time.

Rich, Need more info. I assume the laptop is not connected to the Internet...? If that's correct, I would save the download to the computer then transfer it to the laptop. Hope this helpsi

I honestly can't remember if it came with a disc or a software because I didn't use any. It worked right out of the box (I recommend formatting it first though). Do you need a software? If you do, you can probably download it from their website.

The only options they have is a file download or comes on a mini SD card, not sure if you can put it on a DVD for use in car.

Did you buy a physical "DVD" game or did you by a download game? I have the physical DVD game and I do not need to use the disc (after initial installation) to play the game. I purchased it this way intentionally because some of the online downloaded games have to be run through an online server like Steam and there fore can only be played while you are on line (WIFI connected) and I use my laptop while traveling and seldom have a WIFI connection. Since you don't have an internal DVD player your options would be to buy an external USB player (they can be very inexpensive, from 19.99 up) to download a physical DVD of the game or buy an on line downloadable version.

You can upload a course using Garmin Connect. However, I have been disappointed by the turn by turn directions when using this feature. Specifically, it seems to work well until you go off course at all. From that point on it re-routes you to your course end point via whatever route it thinks is best regardless of the course you specified.

I think you have to go to your course and see if Sky Buddy picks it up. If not, they advertise that you can download it from the internet. Never had to try that but that's what they claim.
