- Garmin Americas BlueChart
Easily installed, transferring of waypoints is simple and quick but detail level is not as good as Nobeltec.

- It is exaclty what is says
As of 10/16/06 V8.5 is the most current version, and that it what was shipped to me.
Once you install the CD you get to only choose from a rather small area. Like 1/4-1/2 of your state (for me, Orlando-Key west). This was a HUGE disappointment. City navigator gives you the ENTIRE US map on DVD for streets, that's 2 gigs of data, so why does Blue Chart only give you like 20megs of bluechart data on a CD. It just doesn't make sense.
This software is pricey, but necessary for boating.
All and all I'd like to give it 3 stars for making me feel ripped off but I gave it 4 stars because the product itself is actually very good.

I also feel that once you buy their overpriced software, that you should be entitled to updates for it. But of course you are not. You have to go and plant down more money to Garmin if you want the next version.

Don't get me wrong, Garmin is a great company with great software, I just wish they weren't so greedy.

- Wow - Boating from My PC !!!
This is fantastic !!! Map out my trips from the comfort of my PC and then download them into my Garmin 2210. Its so fun, why go out? And no more lost waypoints... The only problem is that I entered all my routes and waypoints the first hour, its that easy - Now I have nothing to do but to follow them... And I got a great price $99. I did have some inital problem with my GPS and PC seeing each others maps - Turned-out to be the GPS' software needed to be updated.

- Nice maps -- "Must have" for boaters!
I ordered this CD ROM at the end of April 2006. I received version 7.5 from Amazon.com. Garmin is now shipping v8.0 which is a free upgrade (install the 7.5 version, unlock your region, then order the free v8.0 upgrade CD ROM from Garmin's website.)

This map installs easily using the MapSource software on your PC. On the iQue, you can load both the City Select detailed maps and the BlueChart maps into the unit at the same time. If the BlueChart maps are loaded for an area that has the City Select maps loaded, the City Select maps are displayed by default. Switching between the two map sets can be very confusing at first, but is easy once you know the trick.

To switch map sets on the iQue 3600, go to map view. Press the menu button (second icon from the right at the very bottom of the screen), select Options then Preferences. Make sure that you have "Maps" selected in Preferences. Change the drop down box from "General" to "Detailed Maps." Now, here's the trick: Once your detailed maps are listed in the window, click the menu button again! Now you can enable all maps, disable all maps, enable only the BlueChart maps, or enable only the City Select maps.

If you're a boater, you should never leave home without your GPS (the Coast Guard can find you more easily if you provide them with your GPS coords if you get into trouble.) And, having a BlueChart map loaded into your GPS gives you buoy information, channel information, water depths, depth contour lines, etc., and much more! It's like having a NOAA chart in the palm (no pun intended) of your hand which also shows your exact location at all times.

- Difficult to use
It took me two hours to get everything working on my computer. I found it very frustrating to get started. Once I got the product working it is great.
