WARNING: All charts are digitized directly from existing government and other ofcial charts and should not be

InTroduCTIon

BlueChart is Garmin’s exclusive marine cartography, which works with compatible Garmin units. BlueChart’s detailed electronic nautical charts look like paper charts

when displayed on your Garmin unit or on your PC. BlueChart data is available in three formats:

Preprogrammed Garmin data card or microSD™ card—contains detailed

•

maps based on map coverage regions. Garmin cards work only with compatible Garmin units.

MapSource software—contains detailed maps that you can load onto

•

Garmin data cards, microSD cards, or SD™ cards; or you can load directly to

compatible Garmin units. This offers more exibility in choosing specic maps

within a coverage area.

For information about purchasing BlueChart cards, see page 19 of this guide.

For information about transferring MapSource maps to a card or a Garmin unit, see

the MapSource Help le.

Understanding BlueChart Features

Features common to most BlueChart data include:

Graphic symbols to denote map features (see page 6).

• Depth contour lines (with deep water represented in white)

• Inter-tidal zones (displayed in green on color units)

• Spot soundings, as depicted on the original paper chart

• Navigational aids and symbols

• Obstructions and cable areas

•

Installing a BlueChart Card

Look for a compartment door or rubber weather cap on the bottom of your Garmin unit. Beneath that door is a slot for the BlueChart card.

To insert the card, place the card into the slot (connector end rst) with the label

facing toward the front of the Garmin unit. When the card is in place, close the

compartment door, or reinsert the rubber weather cap. See your Garmin unit owner’s manual for specic card installation instructions.

CAUTION: Insert the connector end of the card into the card slot. Improper installation can result in damage to your Garmin unit and can void your warranty.

Installing MapSource BlueChart Software

With MapSource software, you can view color maps on a PC. You can also create waypoints, routes, and map sets to transfer to your Garmin unit. MapSource BlueChart data is in locked regions within each of the three coverage areas (Americas,

Atlantic, and Pacic). When you unlock a region, you can select the individual charts

that you want to use.

Refer to the MapSource BlueChart software for installation instructions.

Refer to page 10 for information about using MapSource BlueChart software.
