Garmin maps

Post by hardhead »

Anybody running any of the garmin echo units; and if so which map seems to be be best for navigating around the big bend shallow water areas? I'm torn between the 3 different bluechart g2 options. Trying to decide what to load onto my echo73dv.

I'm running the 74DV which has the coastal map as the pre-load. I also have the G2 vision upgrade Tampa to New Orleans. For the shallow water areas around here all you need is the basic coastal map. The vision upgrade doesn't add much (if anything) for this area. The satellite photos are terrible resolution & pretty much useless.

Thanks demon. I was actually focusing in on that g2 with satellite overlays so thanks for the heads up.
