The GARMIN GPSMAP 175 system uses G-chart offshore or inland

cartography to display digital charts on-screen. G-chart cartridges are inserted
in the card slot located on the right side of the unit, and may be installed or
removed at any time, whether the unit is on or off.

To install a G-chart cartridge:

1. Open the cartridge door.
2. Insert the card into the slot. (Label should face up and toward the unit.)
3. Use your thumb to firmly push the cartridge into place (until the cartridge

will not go any further into the unit). If your GPSMAP 175 is on, a
confirmation tone will sound when the cartridge has been properly
installed and accepted.

4. Close the door.

If you insert a G-chart cartridge and get a ‘card format not recognized’
message, try removing the card and reinserting it. If the card is still not
recognized, contact the dealer you purchased it from for assistance. G-
chart cartridges are not waterproof, should not be exposed to moisture
or excessive static charges, and should be stored in the anti-static bag

supplied with the cartridge.

To remove a G-chart cartridge:

1. Open the cartridge door.
2. Using the “data card extractor” supplied with the unit, grasp the card at

the bottom groove and pull outward.

3. If your unit is on, a confirmation tone will sound as the G-chart cartridge

is removed.

4. Close the door.
