Anyone use one for navigationg on the water? If so how did you like it?

I didnt think you could load the water maps on the nuvi models??

I thought that it said you could put the g2 map chips in it?

FuelinAround

You are correct....Went to their site and looked it up. Not sure what the pros and cons are of this unit over a real marine unit. I am currently looking for one myself. It wouldnt let you download the lakeview maps which are "supposedly" better. I am trying to understand all the differences myself.

Yea, I wouldn't mind getting one to use in the car and boat.

bigboat28

Anyone?

yeah its hard to figure out what is/not supported maps wise, & then the difference in map software. we have a nuvi & i was thinking about buying maps for ours even though we really only use it on loto.

i think the big difference is the marine units of course are waterproof & let u interface w/ different marine spec equipment. Garmin HQ is about 1 mile from my house, but they dont have any type of storefront to go in & mess w/ their products.

We are going to Destin in June, what do you guys think the charts that can be put on it are like? Maybe I should go check it out at west marine or something.
