Garmin GPSMAP 230 - Section 10: Using G-Chart Cartridges; Installing and Removing G-Charts

Installing & Removing G-chart Cartridges
The GARMIN GPSMAP 230 system uses G-chart offshore or inland cartography
to display digital charts on-screen. G-chart cartridges are installed in the card slot
located at the bottom right of the GPSMAP unit. G-chart cartridges may
be installed or removed at any time, whether the unit is on or off.
To install a G-chart cartridge:
1. Open the cartridge door on the GPSMAP 230 unit.
2. Insert the card (label facing front and G-chart logo at top) into the slot.
3. Use your thumb to firmly push the cartridge into place. If your GPSMAP 230 is on, a con-
firmation tone will sound when the cartridge has been properly installed and accepted.
4. Close the door (Note: The door will not close unless the G-chart is fully inserted.).
If you insert a G-chart cartridge and get a ‘card format not recognized’ message, try
removing the card and reinserting it. If the card is still not recognized, contact the
dealer you purchased it from for assistance. G-chart cartridges are not waterproof,
should not be exposed to moisture or excessive static charges, and should be stored
in the anti-static bag supplied with the cartridge.
To remove a G-chart cartridge:
1. Open the cartridge door.
2. Grasp the card at the bottom groove and pull firmly.
3. If your GPSMAP is on, a confirmation tone will sound when the G-chart
cartridge has been removed.
