Hi Thinking of buying a new Garmin Chartplotter GPSMAP 172C which you
also can buy 356 blank data card. Can I then upload my computer charts
on the card and read as the blue charts do? A lot cheaper and I have
more computer charts that Blue chart offers. Assume will need a few
pieces of hard/ software to convert?

Forget it. Don't waste your money.

Anything you buy from Garmin will ONLY read Garmin charts/maps.

If you want to read other format files, use a laptop with the requisite
software for connecting to a GPS. e.g.-
