Note!
Insert or remove C-MAP cartridges ONLY through SETUP menu or when
unit is off. All electronic navigation equipment is subject to external factors
beyond the control of the manufacturer. Therefore such equipment must be
regarded as an aid to navigation. The prudent navigator will, for that reason,
never rely on a single source for position fixing and navigation.
