I did my own upgrade to -10, -11, and -13. Just follow the menu structure in order, and press the save config softkey after each menu page load completes. It will take about 2-3 hours, so have ground power connected. There should be a document on your garmin FTP site that has the instructions. Don’t skip any steps.
Make sure to restore your fuel tank calibration settings.
I put together a cheat sheet that lists all of my specific settings (such as cable DB losses, fuel flow factors, etc.) so you will be sure to change them during the update. I would share it, but it is very specific to my setup that it won’t do you any good.

I have downloaded the latest software ...
Has anyone done an upgrade on their own??? How easy was it????
I am many miles from the nearest Garmin Dealer and I am afraid to do the upgrade without support ...
Thanks in advance .... Alan
Life is NOT a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely
in a pretty and well preserved body, BUT rather to skid in broadside,
thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and proclaiming,
"WOW, WHAT A RIDE!!!"
