How do I add a device to Garmin Express

1. Connect your Garmin device to your computer using the Garmin-branded charging cable[1][4].

2. Open the Garmin Express application on your computer[1][4].

3. Select "Get Started" or "Add a Device"[1][4].

4. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the process[4].

If you're having trouble adding a device or if Garmin Express doesn't support your device, you can try these additional steps:

1. If the device is already in Garmin Express but not working correctly, you can remove it and add it again:
- Select your device in Garmin Express
- Go to Tools & Content, then Utilities
- Scroll down and select "Remove from Express"
- Then select "+ Add a Device" to re-add it[2]

2. For some devices, like marine chartplotters, you may need to use a memory card:
- Insert a memory card into the device
- The device will create a file named GarminDevice.xml on the card
- Remove the card and insert it into your computer
- Open Garmin Express and follow the on-screen instructions to add the device[3]

Remember that Garmin Express is designed for use on computers, not mobile devices. If you're using a smartphone or tablet, you should use the Garmin Connect app instead[5].
