Exclusive Garmin Programs

These programs apply to the U.S. market only. These programs are not available through our
European or Asian offices. All programs listed are available directly from Garmin U.S. to end-users
only.
Garmin believes that updates are an extremely critical issue for Marine Cartography, and we are
committed to providing our customers with regular semi-annual updates. As updates occur, we will
make every effort to ensure that the areas of coverage for a given card or MapSource region remain
the same. Updates may include new data or NTM (Notice to Mariners) changes. Any changes can
be viewed on details page for each card.
BUYER PROTECTION POLICY: (Applies ONLY to preprogrammed BlueChart cards.) If a
BlueChart card is updated within 30 days of the original purchase date you may receive one free
update. The identification number and coverage area must remain the same.
UPDATE/TRADE-IN PROGRAM: (Applies ONLY to preprogrammed BlueChart cards.) Garmin
will strive to offer semi-annual updates. If you own a factory preprogrammed BlueChart card
that is outdated, or would like to purchase a card for a different coverage area, Garmin offers an
Update/Trade-In program. Simply send us your old factory preprogrammed BlueChart card, and
receive a 50% discount towards Garmin's list price on any factory preprogrammed BlueChart card
that includes sizes of S(mall), R(egular), L(arge), and B(athymetric). These sizes of cards can be
interchangeable, for example, trade-in a Small BlueChart card for a Bathymetric card, or vice versa.
For e(X)tra large cards, you may update or trade-in ONLY for the same extra large card (exact part
number) or for a different extra large card (part number ends in X) for a 50% discount. For (J)umbo
cards, you may update or trade-in ONLY for the same jumbo card (exact part number) or for a
different jumbo card (part number ends in J) for a 50% discount. Only one update or trade-in per
new BlueChart card is allowed. BlueChart pre-programmed cards CAN NOT be traded in for any
MapSource BlueChart Software. To return BlueChart for update, contact Garmin Cartography at
800/800.1020 (or e-mail at: cartography@garmin.com) to obtain a Return Material Authorization
(RMA) number. The return authorization number must appear on the outside of the shipping
package, and the BlueChart card must be shipped freight prepaid to Garmin at: 1200 East 151st
Street, Olathe, KS 66062.
UPGRADING FROM G-CHARTS TO BLUECHARTS: If you have previously used Garmin's
G-Chart line of electronic maps, please note that we have discontinued support for that product
line. Additionally, G-Charts will not work in our BlueChart-compatible chartplotter product line.
The BlueChart line provides added flexibility, greater coverage and offers you cost savings. To
encourage current Garmin customers to upgrade to our BlueChart line, Garmin provides a 25%
discount on new BlueChart cards or MapSource BlueChart Software for end-users who send us an
old G-Chart, excluding our Extra Large and Jumbo BlueChart cards. This is a one-for-one discount
