GPS Brands - Simrad®

Memory Cards

Our memory cards include Simrad® USR files and a GPX file ready to import into your unit. Select the xxxx-ver3.usr file to import into newer models, the xxxx-ver2.usr file for older models or the xxxx.gpx file if you do not care for importing depths. All available files have the same data on them, so only import 1 file.

Older Units

Older Simrad® units cannot read GPX files directly - we provide the correct files for these units on our memory cards. Many of the newer models do read GPX files, so please check your User Guide or call support to verify before purchasing our files as downloads.

You need the correct card size and formatted correctly for your unit to read data from the card. We list above the maximum card sizes units accept.

Older Simrad® Units with the large CF card cannot import our waypoints; if you have one of these units your only option is to manually enter waypoints from our PDF file lists. Please do not purchase our files, there is no way to get them on your unit.

If you find any information on our list is incorrect, please help us out by Contacting Us.

  1. Navigate to your Chart screen.
  2. Tap the Menu button.
  3. Go to Chart Options or Chart Settings.
  4. Look for an option like "Labels," "Objects," or "Points of Interest."
  5. From there, you can choose which types of labels you want to display on the screen, such as waypoint names, routes, or specific chart details.
