Accessing Paper-Chart-Specific Information

BlueChart g2 cartography provides paper-chart-specific information, such as chart publisher,

print date, edition date, NTM (Notice to Mariners), correction date, and scale. Additional notes

are available for the paper charts.

To view paper-chart-specific information on your Garmin unit:

Place the unit’s cursor on an open area of the chart, and press

ENTER. A

window shows the chart information and allows you to view additional notes

about the chart area.

BlueChart g2 maps stay true to chart presentation and do not modify content. By providing

paper chart-specific information, you can know exactly from which chart and scale each

displayed feature is digitized. BlueChart g2 electronic charts are a faithful reproduction of the

published official paper charts that mariners are required to carry.
BlueChart g2 data is not seamless. Just like the paper charts from which the data is derived,

you might observe some discontinuity along chart borders on your Garmin unit. For example,

if a contour is present on one chart, and not on the adjacent chart, the BlueChart g2 data is

represented on your Garmin unit the same way.
