Outdoor Handheld and Watch Compatibility With BlueChart G3 or LakeVu G3 Maps

LakeVü™ g3 and BlueChart® g3 maps bring more coverage detail for your use on the water. In order for the g3 maps to work as expected on an outdoor handheld or watch, a software update may be required.

You may still be able to use the chart if you already purchased it, however we cannot guarantee that appropriate features will work correctly unless the compatible software version has been loaded to the handheld or watch.

Outdoor Handheld and Watch G3 Compatibility

HomePort™ and BaseCamp™ software will not work with g3 charts. At this time, only the outdoor handhelds and watches listed below are compatible with BlueChart g3 and LakeVü g3 maps and some device will require a software update to ensure compatibility. To update the handheld or watch software, use the Garmin Express™ program.

Marine Chart Features on Outdoor Handhelds and Watches

NOTE: The Vision and Ultra versions of BlueChart g3 and LakeVü g3 mapping are not recommended and should not be purchased for an outdoor handheld or watch.

Handhelds and watches using g3 charts will provide basic chart detail. You will not have auto guidance, depth range shading, 1' foot contours, shallow water shading, relief shading, or raster charts. LakeVü g3 charts provide a lower detail for rivers as compared to lakes but will provide water depths and contours. Your handheld or watch must be at the software version listed or newer, as applicable, in order to be compatible with g3 charts.

Required Software Version for Handhelds and Watches

For downloadable charts, ensure you have adequate space available.
