Garmin G2 Getting Started, card, Note:, Preloaded on your Garmin, Preprogrammed Garmin data

Getting Started > Overview

Getting Started

BlueChart g2 data is available in two formats:

•Preloaded on your Garmin chartplotter—coverage includes the costal United States and contains all the detail of traditional BlueChart and some of the previously listed additional functions (page ii).

•Preprogrammed Garmin data card—coverage is expanded beyond the costal United States and regions are available throughout the rest of North and South America as well as Europe (Atlantic) and Asia (Pacific). Garmin BlueChart g2 preprogrammed data cards contain additional data including highly detailed coastal roads and points of interest such as restaurants, lodging, local attractions and more. Full-color aerial photos of ports, marinas, bridges, and navigational landmarks are also included on many BlueChart g2 preprogrammed data cards (see page 2 for a visual comparison).

Note: Garmin BlueChart g2 preprogrammed data cards work only with BlueChart g2 compatible Garmin units. Look for the BlueChart g2 compatible logo on the product packaging.

Current owners of Garmin GPSMAP 276, GPSMAP 376, GPSMAP 3005C, GPSMAP 3006C, and GPSMAP 3010C chartplotters can also use BlueChart g2 preprogrammed data cards after loading a required software update.
