Upgrade to Our Best Maps on the Water

The BlueChart g2 Vision HD provide exclusive Garmin Auto Guidance1, a technology that directs you to your hot spots. Based on your boat’s specifications, Auto Guidance instantly creates a visual path you can follow to avoid shallow water and other charted obstructions.

Quickdraw Contours to Create Your Own HD Maps

Quickdraw Contours is a free, easy-to-use software feature already installed on your AQUAMAP. It instantly creates your own personalized HD fishing maps on screen with 1-foot contours. Tailor the maps as needed; you own them. Keep the data for yourself, or share it with Garmin or your friends through Quickdraw Community on Garmin Connect™. No special surveying expertise is required. You just fish while Quickdraw Contours creates maps. There’s no waiting around or sending your files away like other mapping software requires — your results appear instantly.

MotionScope Feature Compatible with Fantom Solid State Doppler Radar

MotionScope™ technology uses the Doppler effect to detect and highlight moving targets to help avoid collisions, find flocks of birds and track weather formations. The Doppler effect is the frequency shift in the radar echo due to the relative motion of the target. This allows for instant detection of any targets moving toward or away from the radar. MotionScope highlights the moving targets on the radar display so you can navigate around other boats or severe weather — or toward fishing spots where birds are feeding at the surface.

Video Input & Output

Share display from other device and you can output video to bigger screen and even out of the bridge

Quick Buttons Operation of GAIN/CLUTTER/RANGE/VRM & the Nice Knob

Built-in SailAssist Features

To help you gain a wind-maximizing competitive edge, your multifunction display (MFD) features a pre-race guidance page that shows your virtual starting line along with data fields showing laylines, time to burn before the start and a race timer that can be synchronized across all your networked Garmin GPS products. In addition, other supported sailing features include an enhanced wind rose, heading and course-over-ground lines, set and drift, true and apparent wind data and more.

GPX Waypoints Transfer

If you have waypoints, tracks or frequently used routes stored on another manufacturer’s GPS product — or on a Garmin handheld device — it’s easy to transfer those items to your new Garmin multifunction display (MFD) via industry-standard GPX software formatting.
