Chartplotter Data Management

Copying Waypoints, Routes, and Tracks to a Chartplotter
Before you copy MapSource
• 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.
