Version II of Bizer's chart for Garmin is NOW AVAILABLE for devices that use Garmin's BlueChart technology. 

Bizer (rhymes with "geyser") charts have combined state-of-the-art digital graphics with the precision of the Global Positioning System to create superb, waterproof boating charts of Lake Winnipesaukee and Lake Winnisquam. Some of Bizer's features include:

• Buoy and rock positions that have been measured with GPS surveying satellites to place buoys/rocks in their precise location (+/- 35 feet).  Bizer continues to have the most precise buoy positions.  Other maps of these lakes place buoys in their approximate position and are as much as 550 feet in error. 
• Almost four times as many charted rocks as other charts. 
• Bizer continues to have the most accurate depth information of Lake Winnipesaukee and Lake Winnisquam. All known areas less than six feet deep are marked in blue.  Since 1996, only three boaters have shown us a shallow area less than five feet deep that we overlooked.  This information is vital to a navigator as most boats have a draft less than five feet.  This feature is not on any other chart of these lakes. 
• Bizer has accurate latitude and longitude grid markings for use with GPS or LORAN.  As a service to our customers, the back of Bizer's folded Winnipesaukee chart has a list of 250+ waypoints with their latitude and longitude.
• U.S.  Geological Survey map accuracy standards are that 90% of all data points (including buoys and rocks) be within 0.5 mm (1/50 inch) of their true scale location.  Only Bizer meets those standards.

Navigating on Lake Winnipesaukee is similar to navigating on the ocean as well as most other lakes. Lake Winnipesaukee has shallow sandbars and treacherous rocks just like everywhere else. This is why we decided to make our chart similar to other marine charts.
