Hi,
I have a Garmin 162 gps and I am considering purchasing the Mapsource blue chart CD for the region I fish (NH & Maine). Anyone have any thoughts on this product regarding accuracy and detail as compared to the paper nauticle charts?
From what Garmin says, they use the actual NOAA charts to develop the electronic ones. You download the charts you need into your GPS unit vs the blue chart chip you place in the more expensive units.
My fear is the mark of the submerged rock at low tide which didn't make it into the electronic chart.
Thanks
