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.

the card. The handle is still exposed when it is properly
inserted.

seconds to read the card. Once the data card has been

message, try removing the card and reinserting it. If the card is still
not recognized, contact Garmin or your Garmin dealer.
