Installing and Removing Data Cards

The GPSMAP 378/478 uses an optional Garmin data card to show

digital charts and maps. Install the data card in the card 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

MapSource detailed maps. You can also buy preprogrammed cards

to use with your GPSMAP 378/478.
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. Once 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 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 has been removed.
