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 ( page 15) .
• fish Eye 3d—provides an underwater 3D view that visually represents the
sea floor according to the information on the chart.
• High Resolution Satellite imagery—provides high-resolution satellite
images for a realistic view of the land and water on the Navigation chart.
• aerial Photos—provides a view of marinas and other navigationally
significant aerial photos to help you visualize your surroundings.
• detailed Roads and POi data—provides a view of roads, restaurants, and
other points of interest (POIs) along the shore.
• Current data—provides a view of current-station information
( page 36) .
• auto guidance—uses the chart data and specified boat-safe depth to
determine the best course to your destination ( page 47) .
NOTE: You cannot transfer BlueChart g2 Vision data from the SD card to
your computer for backup. You can transfer BlueChart g2 Vision data from
the SD card to your computer for viewing purposes if HomePort is installed
on your PC. You can only use the SD card on BlueChart g2 Vision-compatible
Garmin GPS units and when using HomePort.

(GPSMAP 441/441s, GPSMAP 536/536s, GPSMAP 541/541s, and GPSMAP
546/546s).
