I reciently purchased a Garmin GPSMAP 200 , the problem is it didnt come
with any chart cartridges. Can anyone lead me to a supplier for these older
cartridges, or a means to download charts to this unit.


I don't recognize that model number, if it uses this chart chip:

then you buy a MapSource CD-ROM, pay to unlock the desired charting, get
an accessory called a USB Data Card Programmer and make your chart
chips. It may also be that you can buy chips proprogrammed for your
area direct from Garmin if there are still supporting the chip you use.

eBay is a good place to find used chips at better prices, also the data
card programmers.
