installed when you installed the MapSource program

that came with your GPSMAP 76CSx. When you

initially connect the GPSMAP 76CSx 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

might be updated periodically. You can find updates at
