Information
Blue
Chart offers detailed paper chart-like, vector cartography in large
coverage areas, providing a great value at a lower price.
BlueChart provides navigators with innovative "object
oriented" cartography. Descriptive details for features
typically found on nautical charts can easily be viewed with a
simple key stroke. Cursor movements over the chart provide
descriptions for contour depths, chart number, navaid name, and much
more. When displayed on a Garmin Chartplotter, BlueChart
offers its user a paper chart like appearance. This data will include
shaded depth contours, inter-tidal zones, spot soundings, wrecks,
navaids, port plans, restricted areas, cable areas, anchorages and
more. Additionally, Blue
Chart includes chart numbers, name, scales, revision
dates, and Notice to Mariner dates.

Mapping detail contained on each CD-ROM will be broken into separate
coverage areas within each region, similar to the way done for MapSource City Navigator. With purchase of MapSource BlueChart,
customers will have the unlock code to access the maps in one
coverage area of their choice. Customers can unlock
additional coverage areas for an additional fee.

NOTE:
Garmin Bluechart products
like this that require an unlock code are revised regularly -
usually in January and July. However,
you may find that you do not need to upgrade each year - it is
not required. Some people postpone their purchases
until after the release date to avoid the upgrade fee. You will
find more information on upgrading at
www.garmin.com. |
