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 (

.

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

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
