Live on Lake Huron. How is the charting on Great Lakes with G2 Bluechart?

The detail is quite amazing! I checked out Lake Huron. The tighter you zoom, the more detail you get. Markers, channels, depths charted down to 1 foot! It even goes inland in some places. I followed it all the way in to Ojibway Island, Saginaw, MI.

As advertised, the Bluechart should include these maps. My interest in Bluechart is in the Gulf of Mexico and its coastal waters, for which it servers very well in those areas.

I have used this baord on Lake Huron during some pretty good swells and wind and was OK (but needed to work hard to turn). Have not tried to surf. I have the longer board 14', If you want to try go for the 9'. This board is cheap enough (cost, not quality) that I would buy this first and give it a try.

I don't have this unit but as far as I know it doesn't have Canada maps. A friend of mine has C220. C230 has the text to speech but with a lot less POI - only 750,000 in comparison with 3.5 million POI on the C220 but C220 doesn't have text to speech. On Mio's website, you can purchase North America maps that include U. S. and Canada for about $100 (don't remember exactly how much it is). I know it's expensive. Good luck.

Yes....very good details. We just moved to Florida last fall..and not being familiar with these waters have relied extensively on the unit along with a hard copy map and both are in lockstep with each other!

Hi Kwilt. Fellow Cheesehead here (Waukesha). Very glad to see 2009 map version shipping with these. Saves me time and hassle. Guess I should have left mine at 'free shipping' instead of next day :-)I'm interested in the SW version that comes with it. Is it 4.5 or something else? Thanks!Mike D

John, Hello. We are cruising on the west coast of Mexico so I don't look at the ICW very often but just took a look and I would say that the detail is good. There are a few isolated stretches on the ICW where there are no depths shown but the channel markers are there plus there is a course line shown up the middle of the channel. That only happens in a few places. For the most part, the charts, depths, and channel markers are all shown and the detail is good. If you have a particular area of the ICW you would like me to check, let me know.Jake

The supplied chart of the World is seriously out of date and very limited.You would need to purchase a marine chart for your area.

I love my Elite 7, have updated software several times. Bought the gold but have found the Insight maps covered more of my local lakes. The only issue I've found is the coordinates are degree/minutes but some of my paper maps are degree/minutes/seconds. Remedy divide seconds by 60 then replace the seconds with a decimal and that number. I've written the new coordinates on my maps for my old weigh points.

I looked at the 2210, it looks like it takes a SD card, The Bluechart G2 comes in a SD card and a thumb drive type card. make sure it says SD if you need the SD card.

We are from Michigan and have had themon Lake Michigan from Frankfort up. To North port and lake leelanau. We haven't had much problem. We ride out into the waves and float back in. There comfortable for sure. Balance is pretty good. We keep our feet on the top and holds up to 3 small coolers underneath the front.

We have had people more than 250 Ibs ride in ours. It was fine, no stressed seams or anything. It is just rated at 220 Ibs for safety but we have never had any issues. We have only used ours on the local rivers however, not in the big lake or open waters.

You have to purchase them, but you won't get any new, because garmin changed format. Don't know, if you can load BlueChart *G2*, But old BlueCharts will do. Last one for Europe is from year 2009.

The tide and current info are part of the "Blue" charts. The 78sc comes with charts for the US and Bahamas. You can buy the charts for the 78 or 78s, either on micro SD cards or to load on your own micro SD card.
