Installing and Removing Data Cards

The GPSMAP 2006/2010 uses optional Garmin marine BlueChart and MapSource data cards to display

digital charts and maps on-screen or save user data (pg. 69). Data cards are installed in the card slots
located on the left side of the unit. Up to two data cards may be installed or removed at any time, whether
the unit is on or off.

To install a data card:

1. Open the card door by pressing the locking tab on the door towards the outside (left) of the unit and

lifting the door open from right to left.

2. Insert the card(s), with the label facing right and the handle towards you, into the slot.
3. Firmly push the card into the unit. It is not necessary to force the card and about 3/16” (5mm) will still

be exposed when it is properly inserted. If the unit is on, a conﬁrmation tone will sound. The ﬁrst time
you insert a programmed data card, the unit will take a few seconds to read the card. Once the data
card has been been properly installed and accepted, a summary screen noting the card details will appear.
Press ENTER/MARK to acknowledge.

4. Close the cover until the locking tab on the door snaps into place.

If you insert a data card and get a ‘card format not recognized’ message, try removing the card and

reinserting it. If the card is still not recognized, contact the Garmin or your Garmin dealer for assistance.
Data cards are not waterproof, should not be exposed to moisture or excessive static charges, and should
be stored in the case supplied with the card. Be sure to keep the data card door closed when not inserting
or removing data cards.

To remove a data card:

1. Open the card door by pressing the locking tab on the door towards the outside (left) of the unit and

lifting the door open from right to left.

2. Grasp the card handle and pull towards you ﬁrmly.
3. If the unit is on, a conﬁrmation tone will sound when the data card has been removed.
4. Close the cover until the locking tab on the door snaps into place.
