6.19 Memory cards and chart cards
MicroSD memory cards can be used to back up /
archive data (e.g. Waypoint, and Tracks). Once
data is backed up to a memory card old data can
be deleted from the system, creating capacity for
new data. The archived data can be retrieved at any
time. Chart cards provide additional or upgraded
cartography.
It is recommended that your data is backed up to a
memory card on a regular basis. Do NOT save data
to a memory card containing cartography.

The following types of MicroSD cards are compatible
with your display:
• Micro Secure Digital Standard-Capacity

• MicroSD cards must be formatted to use either
the FAT or FAT 32 file system format to enable

Speed class rating

chart data, you can insert compatible chart cards into
