You can use optional Garmin data cards in your GPSMAP 278 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 pre-programmed cards
to use with your GPSMAP 278.
NOTE: 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.

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