Installing and Removing Data Cards
The GPSMAP 3006C/3010C uses optional Garmin BlueChart ® and MapSource ®
data cards. By updating your GPSMAP 3006C/3010C software to version 4.0 or
later, you can use optional preprogrammed BlueChart g2 ™ data cards.
Insert data cards in the card slots located on the left side of the unit. You can
install or remove data cards at any time, whether the unit is on or off.
To install a data card:
1. Open the card door by pressing the locking tab on the door toward the
outside (left) of the unit and lifting the door open from right to left.
2. Insert the card into the slot, with the label facing to the right and the handle
facing toward you.
3. Push the card into the unit. It in not necessary to force the card, and
about 1/2" is still exposed when it is properly inserted. If the unit is on, a
confirmation tone sounds, and a message appears on the screen noting
the card details when the card is properly installed and accepted.
4. Close the cover until it locks.
If you insert a data card and receive a “card format not recognized” message,
remove the card and reinsert it. If the card is still not recognized, contact Garmin
Product Support or your Garmin dealer for assistance.
NOtE: 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. Data cards are a Garmin proprietary device and are not exchangeable with
the SD cards used for Garmin g2 Vision mapping data.
The first time you insert a data card, the unit takes a few seconds to read the
card. After the data card is read, a summary page appears. Press ENtER to
acknowledge.
To remove a data card:
1. Open the card door by pressing the locking tab on the door toward the
outside (left) of the unit and lifting the door open from right to left.
2. Grasp the card handle, and pull out firmly.
3. If the unit is on, a confirmation tone sounds when the data card is
removed.
