Note!
Insert or remove C-MAP cartridges ONLY through CHART 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.
