Sharing and Managing User Data
WARNING
This feature allows you to import data from other devices that
may have been generated by third parties. Garmin makes no
representations about the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness
of data that is generated by third parties. Any reliance on or use
of such data is at your own risk.
You can share user data between compatible devices. User
data includes waypoints, saved tracks, routes, and boundaries.
You can share data if two compatible devices are connected
using the blue and brown wires on the power cable or using
the User Data Sharing Cable (Connecting to a Garmin
Device to Share User Data, page 12).
Connecting to a Garmin Device to Share
User Data
You can connect the STRIKER Vivid device to a compatible
Garmin device to share user data, such as waypoints. If the
devices are mounted near each other, you can connect the blue
and brown wires. If the devices are mounted too far apart for the
wires to reach, you can connect the devices using a User Data
Sharing Cable (010-12234-06).

Make sure both devices are connected to the same ground.

Complete an action:
If the devices are mounted near each other, connect the
blue wire from the first device to the brown wire of the
second, and connect the brown wire from the first device
to the blue wire of the second.
If the devices are not mounted near each other, obtain a
User Data Sharing Cable (010-12234-06), and connect
the devices following the instructions included with the
cable (User Data Sharing Cable Wiring Diagram,
page 13).

On both devices, select User Data > Manage Data > User
Data Sharing.
User data is shared between the connected devices. If you
select Clear User Data, data is removed from both connected
devices.
