Garmin MapSource BlueChart CD-ROM for Garmin GPS Units, Americas (010-10317-00)User Review: - Version?I called amazon to find out what version they were currently shipping and they informed me that they could not tell as the product was in a different physical location. Does anyone know what version Amazon is shipping now? User Review: - Blue Chart Data for NewfoundlandThe Blue Chart Data on this CD for Newfoundland is considerably overpriced. I purchased the same data for Polynesia two years ago and was able to get chart data for the entire area we anticipated being in from the Marquesas to Western Polynesia--a fair amount for the money involved. This time, however, I was able to unlock on SW Newfoundland. I would have needed to unlock two-three more regions for the rest of Newfoundland and nothing in Labrador. Not sure why this region should be so expensive for so little. My second complaint with Garmin is that they still do not provide support for Apple computers--my platform of choice. Many promises, but no delivery. User Review:  - Amazon shipped old versionAmazon doesn't specify which version of BlueChart you will get. Amazon sent me version 9.0. I later found out that the current version is 9.5. Garmin now charges $75 to upgrade from 9.0 to 9.5. The charts are good, but Amazon should tell you which version you are getting. User Review:  - Very misleading!CAREFUL - you don't get much coverage! It has been awhile since I have been so mislead by a product. Great charts, but what they don't tell you is that this CD is cut up into a bunch of sectors. YOU ONLY GET ONE sector and have to buy each additional sector - which for one that I checked was MORE than the original CD! I'd say RIP OFF if the charts were not so good. No...on second thought, I do feel like I've been ripped off! User Review: - Good product, buyer beware, sarcastic customer supportI bought this product for my portable Garmin GPS. The description is very poor and leads the user to believe it covers all water in a certain "unlocked" area; not! You don't get inland lakes. So I paid for soemthing I can't use or return. I called Garmin customer service and they were very sarcastic when I asked them why this didn't include lakes. I wanted Dale Hollow Lake in Tennessee. His was reply was that the BlueChart was for oceans and that last time he checked, Tennessee wasn't on the ocean. I ended up buying yet another map set that should include the inland lakes. Garmin is a great product and I love my GPSmap 60csx but their customer support needs to be more knowledgeable about their own products. Plus, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE better explain the map coverages!!!! It seems like a nasty trick to get you to buy maps. |
