In this article, we will show you how to update your CarTrek 600 navigation software to CS3 in a few simple steps. You will need a computer with an internet connection, a USB cable, and a microSD card with at least 4 GB of free space.
The first step is to download the CS3 software update from the official CarTrek website. You can find the download link and instructions [here].

Make sure that your microSD card is formatted in FAT32 format and has at least 4 GB of free space. Then, copy all the files and subfolders from the "CS3_Update_CarTrek_600" folder to the root directory of your microSD card. Do not create any new folders or rename any files.
The fourth step is to insert the microSD card into your CarTrek 600 device. You can find the microSD card slot on the side of your device. Make sure that your device is turned off before inserting the card. Then, turn on your device and wait for a few seconds.
The final step is to follow the on-screen instructions on your CarTrek 600 device. You will see a message that says "Software Update Found". Press OK to start the update process. The update process will take about 10 minutes, during which your device will reboot several times. Do not turn off your device or remove the microSD card until the update process is complete. You will see a message that says "Software Update Successful" when the update process is done. Press OK to finish the update process.
