Hey guys, looking for help here.
just swapped boats and the new boat came with garmin 1242xsv with built in blue chart g2 and lakevu.
i updated garmin software to latest as of April 3rd and downloaded active caption. I did a map chart update for my area.
my issue is that I am coming from lowrance hds gen3 with navionics+ Mapping. That chart was awesome and allowed for very granular details, even down to boat slips in the marina. The garmin bluechart is very basic, just coves, no slip details and contours are very limited.
what am I missing? Do I need to buy the bluechart g3 to get details? Contours, slips, accurate charts with real depth? Or am I eligible to download the more detailed charts somehow?
Let me know please,
thank you!
