For best performance it is recommended that owners use brand name Class 10 or UHS (Ultra High Speed) class memory cards or better. As indicated within the chart above microSD memory cards having memory capacities greater than 32GB will often be formatted with an exFAT file system. Some microSD memory card manufacturers are now formatting lower capacity microSD memory cards with a exFAT file system. Accordingly, it is recommended that the properties of any microSD memory cards (other than Navionics or C-Map chart cards) to be used with Axiom and Axiom Pro MFDs be checked to ensure that they have been formatted with a FAT32 or NTFS file system. MicroSD memory card formatted with an exFAT file system will need to be reformatted with a FAT32 or NTFS file system before being used with an Axiom or Axiom Pro MFD.

If seeking a microSD memory card for updating product software, it is typically recommended that the microSD memory card have a capacity of not less than 4GB be used.
