Garmin now charges $75 to upgrade from 9.0 to 9.5. I later found out that the current version is 9.5. Many promises, but no delivery.Ĭustomer Review: Amazon shipped old versionĪmazon doesn't specify which version of BlueChart you will get.
My second complaint with Garmin is that they still do not provide support for Apple computers-my platform of choice. Not sure why this region should be so expensive for so little. I would have needed to unlock two-three more regions for the rest of Newfoundland and nothing in Labrador. This time, however, I was able to unlock on SW Newfoundland. I purchased the same data for Polynesia two years ago and was able to get chart data for the entire area we anticipated being in from the Marquesas to Western Polynesia-a fair amount for the money involved. The Blue Chart Data on this CD for Newfoundland is considerably overpriced. Note: These functions of this product work with nearly all Garmin GPS units, excluding the GPS 100 family and panel mount aviation units.Ĭustomer Review: Blue Chart Data for Newfoundland
