Backing up marine maps on pre-programmed microSD/SD cards

When a marine map is programmed by Garmin onto a microSD/SD card, the maps are locked to that specific card. This includes, but is not limited to, the following marine maps:

  • BlueChart g2
  • BlueChart g2 HD
  • BlueChart g2 Vision
  • BlueChart g2 Vision HD
  • Canada LakeVu HD
  • Canada LakeVu HD Ultra
  • LakeVu HD
  • LakeVu HD Ultra


Despite this limitation, note that it is possible to back up these maps.  For information on how to do this, please view the Related Content.

Note: In order to register the mapping card in Garmin Express it must be from 2012 or newer, otherwise Garmin Express will be unable to read the microSD/SD card.
