Memory Cards And Chart Cards; A6X And A7X - Raymarine A Series Installation And Operation Instructions Manual

8.1 Memory cards and chart cards

MicroSD memory cards can be used to back up /
archive data (e.g. Waypoint, and Tracks). Once
data is backed up to a memory card old data can
be deleted from the system, creating capacity for
new data. The archived data can be retrieved at any
time. Chart cards provide additional or upgraded
cartography.
It is recommended that your data is backed up to a
memory card on a regular basis. Do NOT save data
to a memory card containing cartography.

with your display:
