Something like this. Modern PCs have several different formats that they can use. I would be surprised if anything still used FAT16, but it's possible.

I think Windows often wants to use NTFS (by default?), but I think NTFS is Windows proprietary, so lots of other stuff doesn't recognize it. FAT32 is usually pretty universal.

What you probably need to do is read the manual for the fish finder and figure out what format it requires, and then ready what formats the GoPro is compatible with. Hopefully, there's some overlap.

Or, have SD cards for each and don't share.
