They do warn you against it, whilst I can't see how you would lose everything just by pushing it in, its not like you can open it on a computer anyway.

You can't read the map

You can't read the map without additional software ($$$), you may also ruin the card so it will no longer work in a sounder.

Iknow a few people who have tried this and it corrupted the card which means buying a new one.

As Till says you need the reader for it and the software.

You need the navionics card reader to read the card it comes with the nav planner software. any normal card reader will ruin the card also. I bought nav planner software from the states for under a third of the price you pay here and it works great for trip planning storing spots etc..
