Garmin Bluechart g2: US & Canadian West Coast

Bluechart g2: US & Canadian West Coast Newly redesigned in 2009 the g2 BlueChart charts feature smoother layering and better integration of map graphics, for easy panning, scrolling and zooming. It features richer colours and shading for easier interpretation and improved visibility. It offers improved IALA navaid symbology and marine services. And, best of all, it features a choice of “Mariner’s View” map perspective, or the familiar 2D direct-overhead view – to make chart reading and orientation easier. It is styled to match the appearance of paper charts, when displayed on your Garmin chartplotter.

Features include shading between depth contours, spot soundings, navaids, port plans, wrecks, obstructions, intertidal zones, fishing charts, restricted areas and more. BlueChart cartography is object-oriented, which means you can pan to an object on the map and instantly view information about that point. Additionally Fishing Charts feature detailed bathymetric data to emphasise bottom contours and depth soundings. The Fishing Chart also removes navigation information from the map to reduce clutter and help give clearer definition to the sea floor.
