I expected more for [$]
By krustyKrabberVerified Reviewer from Boston Massachusetts on 12/29/2007
Cons:
Difficult To Install, Difficult To Use, Unlocking is painful

Comments about Garmin Garmin Americas Bluechart CD-ROM:

For [$] dollars I expected more than a copy of navigation Maps. Unlocking is painful, you will need internet access and patients. You can only unlock one small region. I choose Cape Cod which covers from Portland Maine to New London Connecticut but I do fish in the New Haven area and Central Maine area too. You can only unlock on 2 Garmin units. On the positive side the maps are very usable on the black and white Garmin GPSmap76. But maps update to the LCD are slow.

This product is a most valuable tool for boating. It's like having hundreds of expensive charts at your finger tips. The ability to transfer chart information to and from your GPS makes navigation simple and easy. It's a must have for any boater!!!
