You can register your GPS on www.myGarmin.com if it's a brand new unit. If someone else have registred it first (i.e. bought on eBay or similar), it could be a bit of a hazzle however.

Go to www.garmin.com and pick support then product registration then create an account and it will let you register from there.

Just go to http://www.garmin.com. You will find a link there to register your GPS. You may also find that you will get a free map update with your registeration.

Thanks for using Fixya.com
