Test It Out Or Download Your Updates
After installing the FREE utility (see below) to import the data file to your GPS, you can first download a test database to make sure that everything is compatible with your GPS. Click "Download Test Database" in the section for your particluar system and save it into a directory that will only hold this CSV file for your GPS device. Do not open just save the file (if you open the file it may change the format of the file and then it will not install correctly) Then use the appropriate software to import it into your GPS. If this test file works you are ready to purchase the Kosher Restaurant GPS databases.
