Radar Overlay; Bluechart G2 Vision - Garmin GPSMAP 6008 Owner's Manual

Radar Overlay

When you connect your chartplotter to an optional Garmin marine radar, you can use Radar Overlay to overlay
radar information on the Navigation chart or on the Fishing Chart

BlueChart g2 Vision

An optional, preprogrammed BlueChart g2 Vision data card allows you to get the most out of your chartplotter.
In addition to detailed marine charting, BlueChart g2 Vision has the following features:
• Mariner's eye 3D—provides a view from above and behind the boat for a three-dimensional navigation
aid. The BlueChart g2 Vision Mariner's Eye 3D is more detailed than the pre-loaded data
• Fish eye 3D—provides an underwater, three-dimensional view that visually represents the sea floor
according to the information on the chart
• Fishing Charts—shows the chart with enhanced bottom contours and without navigational data. This chart
works well for offshore deep-sea fishing
• High Resolution Satellite Imagery—provides high-resolution satellite images for a realistic view of the
land and water on the Navigation chart
• Aerial Photos—shows marinas and other navigationally significant aerial photos to help you visualize
your surroundings (page
• Detailed Roads and PoI data—shows roads, restaurants, and other points of interest (POIs) along the
shore (page 27).
• Auto Guidance—uses specified safe depth, safe height, and chart data to determine the best course to your
destination (page 27).
BlueChart g2 Vision Data Cards
BlueChart g2 Vision data cards are not waterproof. When you are not using the card, keep it in the original
packaging for safekeeping and store it away from exposure to sun and rain to prevent damage to the card.
BlueChart g2 Vision data cards are susceptible to damage from static electricity. In low-humidity
environments, you should ground yourself on a large metal object before handling the card to prevent damage
to the card.
You can share BlueChart g2 Vision cartography data from a data card inserted in one GPSMAP 6000 or
GPSMAP 7000 series chartplotter with every GPSMAP 4000 series, 5000 series, 6000 series, and 7000
series chartplotter connected to the Garmin Marine Network
is compatible only with GPSMAP 4000 series and later chartplotters. Previous Garmin Marine Network-
compatible chartplotter models (such as the GPSMAP 3000 Series) can be connected to your network, but they
cannot share BlueChart g2 Vision data.
You cannot transfer BlueChart g2 Vision data from the data card to your computer for backup or viewing
purposes. You can use the data card only on BlueChart g2 Vision-compatible Garmin GPS units.
You can insert or remove a BlueChart g2 Vision data card while your chartplotter is on or off
(page 4).
