With the Garmin GPSMAP 182C global positioning system (GPS), you can navigate unfamiliar routes and locations with confidence. In order to fully maximize the features and functionality of your GPS, you will need to occasionally connect it to your computer to install updates.
Connect Garmin System to a Computer
Connecting your Garmin GPSMAP 182C to your computer is a simple procedure once you have the proper cables. Along with the unit, the box it came in should include a data cable to connect the unit to your computer's 9-pin serial port. If your computer does not have such a port, you will need a universal serial bus (USB) to recommended standard 232 converter cable, or RS232 for short. Plug the RS232 end into the corresponding end of the cable that came with your GPS, and the USB end into your computer's USB port. Plug the remaining end into the port on your GPS unit, and it will be successfully connected to your computer.
