Accessing Paper-Chart-Specific Information

BlueChart g2 cartography provides paper-chart-specific information, such as chart publisher, print date, edition date, NTM (Notice to Mariners), correction date, and scale. Additional notes are available for the paper charts.

To view paper-chart-specific information on your Garmin unit:

Place the unit’s cursor on an open area of the chart, and press ENTER. A window shows the chart information and allows you to view additional notes about the chart area.

BlueChart g2 maps stay true to chart presentation and do not modify content. By providing paper chart-specific information, you can know exactly from which chart and scale each displayed feature is digitized. BlueChart g2 electronic charts are a faithful reproduction of the published official paper charts that mariners are required to carry.

BlueChart g2 data is not seamless. Just like the paper charts from which the data is derived, you might observe some discontinuity along chart borders on your Garmin unit. For example, if a contour is present on one chart, and not on the adjacent chart, the BlueChart g2 data is represented on your Garmin unit the same way.
