C-MAP NT+ or BlueChart?
 

Which do you like better?

from the demo units at west marine I like the Blue chart the best, that will be my next software/GPS, it had a little more info on there that the others did not have, shows water depth{and shows date of when it was recorded} underwater wrecks and many other things,

I was getting ready to buy something for my garmin 180 . DO these work in it ?

I have used NT charts on my Cigarette for a while but just upgraded my sport fish with a Garmin color 2010 which uses Bluechart.
VERY nice detail & extremely accurate. I like the Bluecharts better!

DJD, couple of follow-up questions:

Were you using C-MAP NT or C-MAP NT+, and on what plotter?
What plotter are you using the bluechart on?

Thanks!

I'm using C-MAP NT+ in my Leica MK-40 color. Bright screen, fast redraw, great detail. The difference is vector vs. raster graphics.

which is vector and which is raster?

C-MAP is vector and Bluechart is raster. Both are good.

I work part time at a Boaters world and it seens we sell more of the blue charts and i personally like them better.

will the blue charts work in a garmin 180 ? Who much are they ? I need one .

the blue chart is available on CD rom, if your gps has memory, you can download the software to it, the other way is memory chips you just plug into the gps, fast and sweet, I like the chips the best, they even have blank chips and you buy a usb programmer and you can flash your own chips, edit your waypoints and do a lot more
