I apologize to the group if this has been discussed and/or answered before.
I did a search but did not find anything.
Question: Can I load Garmin's City Select and BlueChart maps on ma Garmin
76C at the same time?
More specifically, cnd I use autorouting City Select to follow roads to the
marina or boat ramp and then seamlessly transition to BlueChart for waterway
navigation. Assuming that is possible, when/how is the transition done. i.e
where is the dividing line (geographically) between the road map and the
nautical chart. One can't overlap the other can it? It would be nice if it
could.
I love my 1 year old 76C with City Select and highly recommend the unit. I
wouldn't be nearly as happy however if I had not bought City Select -- that
makes all the differenc en the word so far as county roads and off road
trails go. Also, the points of interest database is quite aweseome.
I'm not quite as excited by the Garmin vector based BlueCharts maps
however -- I really like the familiur raster scan look of the traditional
paper chart. I played with a Garmin 192C in the store today -- that's the
unit that says it has the entire U.S. coastline preloaded in BlueChart.
Based upon the Garmin price of about $130.00 per "region" to unlock the
BlueChart CD, getting the entire US seems like a pretty good bargin when it
is included with thw Garmin 192C (although I think most people really don'y
need the entire U.S waterways.)
All comments and suggestions appreciated.
