Why is the data card required when using the Mapsource software with the GPSMAP 295?
A data card must be used with the GPSMAP 295 when using the area maps within the Mapsource software. The area map is transferred to the data card (see FAAQ below for more details) and then used by the GPSMAP 295 for features such as the address locator function. You cannot use many of the land/mobile features of the GPSMAP 295 without the insertion of a specific area map into the GPSMAP 295 via the data card. The data cards are available in 8, 16, 32, 64, or ,128 megabytes. See FAAQ below for uses of different size data cards.
