Africa and Middle East Garmin g2 HD and g2 HD Vision Marine BlueCharts
If you own a Garmin Chartplotter it has a SD card slot for adding Marine Chart maps known as BlueChart Maps. These Marine SD cards are just like the paper charts you would otherwise use to navigate on the waters but unlike paper maps, you will be able to scroll, pan and zoom in along your journey as well as view in both 2D overhead and 3D over-the-bow views.
Also available is g2 HD Vision BlueCharts. The difference is the g2 HD Vision maps have premium features which include high-resolution satellite imagery, above and below the waterline 3D perspectives and Auto-Guidance technology. You will also get overhead, aerial photos of ports, harbours, marinas and waterways and coastal roads (up to 5 miles inland) as well as points of interest.
