GPS CHARTPLOTTERS SOFTWARE UPDATE

Inside the box containing the FF520 you will find 3 software upgrade CARDs. These CARDs
are used to update the software in the GPS chartplotters to be compatible with the FF520
and will load the MAX cartography operating system from C-Map. Pls note that NT
cartograhy cards still can be used, but to use all the MAX features a MAX cartography card
will have to be purchased.
Updating the software in the GPS chartplotters with these CARDs will erase all Marks and Routes
that you have stored. Please read carefully the following paragraphs.

If you have created Marks and Routes you will need to either make note and manually re-
