Please note that this product has been discontinued, while there are
major problems with the successor "G2" and G2's successor "G2 Vision":

1. G2 is incompatible with older units.
2. G2 Vision is incompatible with units which were marketed and
sold until May this year.
3. Both G2 and G2 Vision are incompatible with MapSource, so
previewing, route-making, etc at the comfort of the PC-screen
is no longer possible.
4. Both G2 and G2 Vision were found to contain such errors that
Garmin was forced to recall both products. Garmin distributed
firmware updates for all G2 and G2 Vision compatible units to
warn the users that the charts too dangerous to use for real
navigation.
Replacement charts are not expected before next year.

I guess it is safe to say that Garmin has no current Marine
product at this point in time.

So just the G2 and G2 Vision have been
recalled...the older BlueCharts are still available.
Anyone know off hand that date of the BlueChart info?

If you can find the older BlueCharts, I know they can be uploaded to the GPS map
76 (C) series, because I have...
