    Generation-3 Mapping

    Does anybody have screenshots to share or information on new features. Wondering if it’s worth spending the money on a LakeVü g3 upgrade.

    I read this today
    ”The full line of Garmin’s new BlueChart g3 and LakeVu? g3 cartography that blend the best of both Garmin and Navionics content together for the first time to deliver unparalleled coverage and detail, will be available for purchase and download beginning Feb. 27, 2019, and have already shipped out pre-loaded into the new GPSMAP 8600/8600xsv series."

    Not sure if that helps any.

    From my understanding it is.....but if one is buying a new unit they can get the g3 mapping with new models.

    I could be wrong but I believe those images are from the G3 Ultra maps, not the G3 maps. At least those images aren't on the 8610 and another new unit I have.

    Im sure those images are ultra maps. The included g3 mapping will be the standard contour lines
