To copy or merge MapSource data to your chartplotter:

1. With the chartplotter off, insert an SD card into your chartplotter, then

power it on to allow it to place a file on the SD card. This file provides

information to MapSource to format the data. This only needs to be done

the first time you copy or merge MapSource data to your chartplotter from

a specific SD card.

2. Check your MapSource version on the computer by clicking Help > about

MapSource. If the version is older than 6.12.2, update to the most-current

version by clicking Help > Check for Software Updates, or check the

Garmin Web site at

www.garmin.com

.

3. Insert the SD card into an SD card reader that is attached to the computer.
4. From within MapSource, click Transfer > Send to device.
5. From the Send to Device window, select the drive for the SD card reader

and the types of data you want to copy to your chartplotter.

6. Click Send.
7. Insert the SD card into the SD card slot on the front of the unit.
