Network.
You can use optional memory cards with the chartplotter. Map
cards allow you to view high-resolution satellite imagery and
aerial reference photos of ports, harbors, marinas, and other
points of interest. You can use blank memory cards to transfer
data such as waypoints, routes, and tracks to another
compatible chartplotter or a computer.
