Installing and Removing Data Cards
The GPSMAP 495 uses an optional Garmin data card to show
digital charts and maps. Install the data card in the slot located on
the bottom of the unit. Install or remove the data card at any time,
whether the unit is on or off.
You can load a variety of information on your data card, such as
BlueChart and MapSource detailed maps in a MapSource program.
You can buy pre-programmed cards to use with your GPSMAP 495.
Data cards are not waterproof, should not be exposed to moisture or
excessive static charges, and should be stored in the case supplied
with the card.
To install a data card:
1. Insert the card into the slot on the bottom of the unit. Be sure the
label is facing the front of the unit.
2. Firmly push the card into the unit. It is not necessary to force the
card. The handle is still exposed when it is properly inserted.
3. If the unit is on, a confirmation tone sounds. The first time you
insert a programmed data card, the unit takes a few seconds to
read the card. When the data card has been properly installed
and accepted, a summary screen noting the card details
appears. Press
ENTER to acknowledge.
If you insert a data card and get a card format not recognized
message, try removing the card and reinserting it. If the card is still
not recognized, contact Garmin Product Support or your Garmin
dealer.
To remove a data card:
1. Grasp the card handle. The handle expands for easy removal.
2. Pull the card out of the card slot on the bottom of the unit.
3. If the unit is on, a confirmation tone sounds when the data card is
removed.
