Chartplotter Data Management

Copying Waypoints, Routes, and Tracks to a Chartplotter

Before you copy MapSource® or HomePort™ data to a chartplotter, you must complete the following actions:

•The first time that you use a memory card to copy HomePort or MapSource® data to a chartplotter, you must prepare the memory card by inserting it into the chartplotter and allowing the chartplotter to place a file on it. This file provides information to HomePort or to MapSource to format the data.

•Check the MapSource version on your computer by clicking Help > About MapSource. If the software version is older than 6.12.2, update to the current version by clicking Help > Check for Software Updates, or go to www.garmin.com.

1.Complete an action:

•Copy the data from HomePort to the prepared memory card (using an SD card reader attached to the computer) according to the process described in the “Transferring Data” topic in the HomePort help system.

•Copy the data from MapSource to the prepared memory card (using an SD card reader attached to the computer) according to the process described in the “Transferring Data from MapSource to a Device” topic in the MapSource help system.

2.Copy the data from the data card to the chartplotter. See “Copying Data from a Data Card” (page 69).
