Product Description Garmin's exclusive line of BlueChart marine cartography products is designed to provide interactive viewing of detailed nautical chart data. These detailed electronic nautical charts look just like paper charts when displayed on your Garmin chart plotter. Descriptive details for features typically found on nautical charts can easily be viewed with a simple key press. Cursor movements over the chart provide descriptions for contour depths, chart number, navaid name, and much more. Customer Reviews BlueChart version 7.5 almost no improvement over ver. 5.0 BlueChart is good in many ways, but I just purchased update version 7.5 (region Hecate Strait South) and can find virtually no improvements over version 5.0 for this region. So I don't encourage buying update if you already have older version for this region. (Version 5 and higher have much more detail, however, than version 4.01). Water passages, islands, and shore prominences are generally not labeled, giving significantly less information than if you buy paper charts. Shoreline character (rocky, sandy etc) has been deleted from the newer version. Garmin's email support has been very good; quick and very helpful to me. Addition 9/24/05-- I find some of the detail is not deleted, it is hidden in version 7.5. It does show if you select Medium or Low Detail onscreen instead of Highest Detail, to get rid of the new depth shading. Crap Charts and no Support If you have a question or need support, forget it!!! I sent a email to Garmin support "5 to 7 days" for a reply. Ah, call them, 9 to 5 CST and a 90 minute wait. I love the GPS but needed help with charts and learned that Garmin does NOT SUPPROT THEIR CUSTOMERS!!! If it takes a week or more to get help, I would say that the company has issues. I think that their hardware has some great engineering behind it but the company does not value its customers and does not support them beyond the sale. I'm not sure of the alternatives but I'm looking... OLD SOFTWARE!! Instead FIND - USE Version 7 as of (06/15/05) I cannot believe that anyone would ethically sell outdated charts. Avoid unless you find the latest version available. Storms and tides change the oceans, and new wrecks and hazards may be present. AVOID!!! Version 5.5
