Installing & Removing Micro G-chart Cartridges
The GARMIN GPSMAP 185 Sounder system uses Micro G-chart offshore or
inland cartography to display digital charts on-screen. Micro G-chart cartridges
are installed in the card slot located at the bottom right of the GPSMAP 185
Sounder unit. Micro G-chart cartridges may be installed or removed at any time,
whether the unit is on or off.
To install a Micro G-chart cartridge:
1. Open the cartridge door.
2. Insert the card (label facing front) into the slot.
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 185 Sounder is on, a confirmation tone will sound
when the cartridge has been properly installed and accepted.
4. Close the cover.
If you insert a Micro G-chart cartridge and get a card format not recognized mes-
sage, try removing the card and reinserting it. If the card is still not recognized, con-
tact the dealer you purchased it from for assistance. Micro 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 Micro G-chart cartridge:
1. Open the cartridge door.
2. Grasp the card by the bottom, extend the handle and pull firmly.
3. If your GPSMAP 185 Sounder is on, a confirmation tone will sound when the Micro G-
chart cartridge has been removed.
