Once a G-chart cartridge has been inserted, the map coverage outlines for
the cartridge will automatically appear on-screen. Keep in mind that the
display will not automatically scroll to the map area or zoom to a level where

subcharts, the system will automatically display the appropriate chart for the area
you are in. When you leave the area covered by the main map of a cartridge, the
GPSMAP 175 will default back to using the built-in 64 nm database.
If you are not seeing certain map items (navaids, depth contours, etc. on
