Using BlueChart g2 Vision

NOTICE

BlueChart g2 Vision data cards are not waterproof. When you are

not using the card, keep it in the original packaging for safekeeping

and store it away from exposure to sun and rain to prevent damage

to the card.
BlueChart g2 Vision data cards are susceptible to damage from

static electricity. In low-humidity environments, you should ground

yourself on a large metal object before handling the card to prevent

damage to the card.
Optional BlueChart g2 Vision preprogrammed SD cards allow

you to get the most out of your unit. In addition to detailed marine

charting, BlueChart g2 Vision has the following features:
Mariner’s Eye 3d—provides a view from above and behind the

boat for a three-dimensional navigation aid. The BlueChart g2

Vision Mariner’s Eye 3D is more detailed than the preloaded data

represents the sea floor according to the information on the chart.

fishing Charts—provides a view of the chart with enhanced

bottom contours and without navigational data. This chart works

satellite images for a realistic view of the land and water on the

Navigation chart.

navigationally significant aerial photos to help you visualize your

surroundings.

restaurants, and other points of interest (POIs) along the shore.

card to your computer for backup or viewing purposes. You can only

use the SD card on BlueChart g2 Vision-compatible Garmin GPS

units.

Navigating with a Garmin Autopilot

When you start any type of navigation (go To, Route To, guide

To, or follow Track), if you are connected to a compatible Garmin

autopilot, you are prompted to engage the autopilot.
