All GPSMAP 6000/7000 series chartplotters have a basic worldwide imagery map. The GPSMAP
6208, 6212, 7212, and 7215 chartplotters have built-in detailed BlueChart g2 offshore cartography
for US waters. The charts and 3D chart views listed below are available on the chartplotter.

BlueChart g2 Vision data card ( page 21 ).

supplemental maps, if available. The data includes buoys, lights, cables, depth soundings,

( page 19 ).
