+Intermountain Angler Posted July 2, 2006 Share Posted July 2, 2006 from what i have seen so far on my 76csx there are general navigational aids for navigable waters with the base software. these aids show up at a fairly close viewing level on the GPSr. Quote Link to comment
mina678 Posted July 3, 2006 Author Share Posted July 3, 2006 So by that you mean it shows lakes and oceans Quote Link to comment
+jotne Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 There are no preinstalled Bluechart on any Garmin GPS. The only map on your GPS is a Basemap, that covers mayor rouads/higway in either Europe or US. You have to order Bluechart. http://www.garmin.com/cartography/ontheWater/ Quote Link to comment
Glenn W Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 (edited) I assume he means BlueCharts pre-intalled on a chip. You get detailed maps of harbors, bathymetric seafloor charts, underwater obstructions, and other marine features. Worth the cost if you will be using the 76CSx as a primary navigation tool at sea. Less so if unit is backing up a genuine chart plotter. GW Edited July 3, 2006 by Glenn W Quote Link to comment

Marine points will be listed as waypoints on your unit. Quote Link to comment
