Installing a BlueChart g2 Preprogrammed Data Card

Look for a compartment door or rubber weather cap on the bottom (or front for large chartplotters) of your Garmin unit. Beneath the door or weather cap is a slot for a data card.

To insert the card, place the card into the slot (connector end first) with the label facing toward the front of the Garmin unit. When the card is in place, close the compartment door, or reinsert the rubber weather cap. See your Garmin unit owner’s manual for specific card installation instructions.

Caution

Insert the connector end of the card into the card slot. Improper installation can result in damage to your Garmin unit and can void your warranty.
