Thread: Garmin Veu505S Baltic Sea East Coast Bluechart G2 Vision up to v2012.1 V14.50

Mapsource crashes for some reason with this map (ID260).
With latest maptool & mapsource. Any ideas?

I don't know why people always go the hard way?
They always want BlueChart g2 Vision charts, even in MapSource and/or in Garmin Mobile XT.

Use BlueChart in MapSource and nRoute.
Use HomePort to view BlueChart g2 & BlueChart g2 Vision on a PC.

GMXT can view marine charts with distorted colors and the g2 Visision features will NOT show at all (just a waste of storage space).

If you want to see all the depth contour lines that a g2/g2 Vision map has to offer, HomePort does not cut it.
It could, but I believe Garmin made it that way on purpose.
MapSource v6.13.7, nRoute and BaseCamp all do a better job at showing depth contour lines.
Of the four, BaseCamp wins because it also shows shaded relief on both land and water like HomePort does.

Below is just one example of this:
