Memory Cards
You can use optional memory cards with the chartplotter. Map cards allow you to view high-resolution satellite imagery and aerial reference photos of ports, harbors, marinas, and other points of interest. You can use blank memory cards to record Garmin Quickdraw™ Contours mapping, record sonar (with a compatible transducer), transfer data such as waypoints and routes to another compatible chartplotter or a computer, and use the ActiveCaptain® app.
The internal card readers on GPSMAP® 8400 and 8600 series chartplotters support up to 32 GB memory cards, formatted to FAT32 with speed class 4 or higher1. Use of an 8 GB or larger memory card with speed class 10 is recommended. As of software version 34.00, the internal card readers on GPSMAP 9000 series chartplotters support up to 1 TB memory cards, formatted to exFAT with speed class 10 or higher.
