Here are directions on how to install our Garmin map to the Garmin Overlander on a Mac computer.

1. Close Garmin Express

2. Press Command+Space Bar and type “Activity Monitor” to start Activity Monitor

3. Close any “Garmin” processes

4. Download and start “Android File Transfer”

5. Power on the Overlander (or other Android-based Garmin navigator)

6. In Android File Transfer find the “Garmin” folder, and then the “Map” folder
