Introduction > Overview Introduction BlueChart® g2 is Garmin's exclusive line of highly-detailed marine cartography, which comes preloaded for the costal United States on Garmin's GPSMAP® 492/498 chartplotters, the large-display GPSMAP 2200 series, and GPSMAP 3200 series of chartplotters. BlueChart g2 cartography features smoother layering and better integration of map graphics for faster redraws and more cohesive panning, scrolling, and zooming. It features richer colors and shading for easier interpretation and improved visibility. BlueChart g2 has all the detail of traditional BlueChart, but with additional functions, such as an optional "mariner's-eye view" map perspective. With the addition of BlueChart g2 preprogrammed data cards, you can access costal roads and points of interest (POIs) as well as a growing worldwide database of high-quality navigationally significant photos. These photos give "real picture" detail for many harbors, ports, marinas and coastal features. BlueChart g2 cartography features a growing database of aerial photography to give mariners a visual overview of harbors, marinas, waterways, and other points of reference. BlueChart g2 User's Guide
