Technical background

Over time, the various Garmin devices for car, outdoor and marine applications have evolved in different directions.

New maps are only compatible with the device for the respective target group. NT maps with lane assist guides and traffic informationonly work on Garmin nüvi devices, whereas the very detailed and colourful topographic maps are meant for use in outdoor devices. However, Bluechart G2 Vision only works in combinationwith marine devices. All sea maps, either traditional Bluechart, G2 or G2 Vision, work without TYPE files, as these do not display particularly detailed or multi-coloured images on shore. The Bluechart version does not offer green meadows, brown fields or even tree symbols in a forest. However, outdoor devices were designed to be used in a car or on a boat as well. Astute graphics elite bundle 1.2.4. For this reason, a partial support for NT and Bluechart (G2) was implemented. Unfortunately, they did not implement lane assist guides or Bluechart Vision.

So far, Garmin marine devices do not support TYPE files (for freely definable symbols, colours and textures). In order to display polygons, only a few clearly defined colours and textures are available. Without TYPE files, however, the priority of polygons cannot be defined. Maps that are displayed perfectly on Garmin outdoor or travel devices generally do have the same quality on marine devices and are therefore unusable.

Garmin has built in a locking mechanism in newer marine devices to prevent older Bluecharts (without G2) from being used (Message: 'Karte nicht kompatibel' [Map is not compatible]). This lock also takes effect when OSM cards are involved.

Thus, a special OpenSeaMap chart was developed for owners of Garmin marine devices. It is particularly designed to adapt to the options of marine devices, which are rather limited compared to those of outdoor devices. This chart also works on outdoor devices with marine mode (e. g. Oregon) without any restrictions. It should also work for older marine devices. However, you should not download the entire map of Europa to less powerful devices in one go, but choose MapSource sections instead. Otherwise the image buildup will be very slow and there can be gaps in the map if the working memory is too small.

On devices that are exclusively used in cars (nüvi series) the map will probably not work without restrictions. Devices for aviation have not been tested so far.px
