cards allow you to view high-resolution satellite imagery and

aerial reference photos of ports, harbors, marinas, and other

points of interest. You can use blank memory cards to record

sonar data and transfer data such as waypoints, routes, and

tracks to another compatible Garmin chartplotter or a computer.

Open the access flap or door on the front of the chartplotter.

Insert the memory card.

Press the card in until it clicks.
