 Can you help me with completing the map update for my Magellan RoadMate 800T/860T /3000T/3050T/6000T?
Article "This guide will help you upgrade your Magellan RoadMate with the map update. Let's go through the checklist to ensure you have everything you need before we start the upgrade process.

* Magellan RoadMate receiver
* PC with Windows 2000 (Service Pack 4) or XP (Service Pack 3) operating system
* AC power adapter or fully charged battery via the vehicle power adapter
* USB cable


Before you start:

Do not connect your Magellan RoadMate to the USB port of your computer until instructed to do so.

1. Close all other applications on your PC. This will enable the upgrade process to run more smoothly and efficiently.
