GARMIN BlueChart G3 EU14R Italy / Adriatic

Purchased to replace G2 VISION cartography on Garmin plotter GPSMAP 720S

a good deal from Garmin!

Good service as always! I was just surprised that I got a 1GB card back even though I sent a 4GB for the update! Unfortunately, even with the note no longer available, I can't really do anything!

Whether the maps are accurate and/or error-free can only be checked randomly in the short term by comparing them with a corrected paper chart. I might not be able to comment on this until after the next trip. What bothers me a bit is that the lettering has a thin border around the letters. This is supposed to increase contrast, but in my opinion it reduces legibility. Equally distracting for the map image is that the number of depth contours shown is not reduced when the zoom factor is reduced. Densely packed depth contours look unsightly. I simply find Navionics and Gold charts nicer because they look more like paper charts. Unfortunately, they are not compatible with Garmin navigation systems - and Garmin is the only provider that still offers battery-operated (self-sufficient) marine mobile plotters.

I bought tickets a year ago at the boat show in Biograd 2, the price was much cheaper.
