+Rubberhead Posted April 28, 2003 Share Posted April 28, 2003 I've bought the BlueChart America's CD but have not registered for my unlock code yet. (I had to purchase it before April 30th to qualify for the $50 rebate). Anyway, does anyone have experience with the BlueChart maps? The Garmin website usually allows detailed previews of CD's before you buy them, but they don't allow that level of detail for the BlueChart CDs. Quote Link to comment
je2 Posted April 29, 2003 Share Posted April 29, 2003 Can you please let me know when you find out because i am seriously thinking of buying it myself Quote Link to comment
+SpongeRob Posted April 29, 2003 Share Posted April 29, 2003 I don't own it personally but my father does. When I visted him in the Florida Keys he uses Bluechart for fishing and navigation on his boat. There was a lot of information in it. Water depth, restricted areas, ports, locations of reefs, wrecks, mangroves, etc. Since I was more of a tourist and looking at it from the point of view of "wow that looks neat", I can't tell you about any high end usability of the product. I can tell you that it had a lot of information on the waterways near the keys. Hope that helps some. -- SpongeRob rwmech@keenpeople.com www.keenpeople.com WPWU826 Cache'n Retrievers Quote Link to comment
+Rubberhead Posted April 30, 2003 Author Share Posted April 30, 2003 ttt I purchased Garmin's Mapsource Bluechart Region US007 which runs from Norfolk, VA to Charleston, SC. I'm planning to use it on an eTrex Legend and a GPSmap 162. Give me a couple of days and I let you what I think. Quote Link to comment
