Transferring MapSource Data
You can send map sets, waypoints, routes, and tracks to
your GPS unit or storage card, or you can receive data
from your GPS unit or storage card. You may use one
of the following methods to transfer data to or from
your GPS unit (check your GPS unit owner's manual to
see what data transfer options are available):
• Serial or USB Cable
• USB Data Card Programmer or USB Data
Card Programmer RoHS (USB 2.0)—You can
use this method if your GPS unit uses a Garmin
data card (not preprogrammed). The USB Data
Card Programmer RoHS works with Windows
2000 or newer.
• Compact Flash (CF) or Secure Digital (SD)
Card Reader—If your GPS unit uses a CF, SD,
micro SD, or transflash card, you can purchase a
third-party card reader to transfer data. In some
instances, you cannot transfer waypoints, routes,
or tracks using a card reader.

Each time you transfer maps to a data card, you
completely erase all data currently stored on the card
and replace it with new data. However, if you store
maps on a data card and you transfer waypoints, routes,
or tracks, you will not erase the maps on the card.
You can transfer waypoints, routes, and tracks from
a data card to your GPS unit's internal memory to
prevent them from being deleted from your data card.
You cannot save maps from a data card to your GPS
unit's internal memory.
NOTE: Not all units can accept waypoints,
routes, or tracks from a data card. Check your
GPS unit owner's manual to see if your unit is
compatible.
