Garmin Bluechart G2 Vision Reviews

When used with Garmin Chartplotter, the BlueChart appears just like normal paper charts. The familiar appearance and 3D technology make it easier for the user to understand chart orientation and patterns. A comprehensive list of IALA navaid symbols and smooth layering ensures that there is a minimal learning curve for navigators. In fact, BlueChart is object-oriented, which means that users can point to any spot on the map to view further details. Accordingly, in-depth information on landmarks, shipwrecks, obstructions, depth, port plans, and intertidal zones is clearly visible.

Does Garmin BlueChart cover major coastal areas of North America?

The map covers almost every major coastal region in North America. For instance, it covers both U.S. coasts, including major inland rivers, the Great Lakes, Hawaiian coast, and the entire West Indies from the Bahamas to Puerto Rico. Similarly, it covers both Canadian coasts, including the Pacific Coast and major rivers. Extensive coverage of Alaska, Central America, and the northern tip of South America is also included in the map of North America. You can also shop individual maps of North America's sub-regions on eBay.
