Please note: Unfortunately, C-Map cartridges will not work in a Garmin GPS.  See the next item, Files for your Garmin GPS.

BIZER'S Downloadable file for your Garmin GPS

After hundreds of requests from Garmin users, Bizer has started development on a file that can be loaded into a Garmin GPS.  For 2009, Bizer is releasing version G2 of this product.  This product has limitations.  It does not have as much information as the C-Map chip of Winnipesaukee.  However, it the best available product for a Garmin GPS.  It has the shoreline, islands, buoys, rocks, and some of the boating routes depicted.  For a complete description go to http://www.bizer.com/garmin.  This product is available for download (via email). If you prefer, Bizer will deliver this product on a SD/MicroSD chip or on a 16-mb Garmin DataCard.
