Garmin Navionics+ BUS001L U.S. & Coastal Canada Built-In Chart Update Card
The Garmin Navionics+ BUS001L is a microSD™/SD™ chart update card delivering Garmin Navionics+ cartography across U.S. coastal waters, Alaska, Hawaii, and the West Coast of Canada, supplied on a card measuring 3.5 × 2.5 × 0.1 in (88.9 × 63.5 × 2.5 mm) and weighing 0.1 lb.
The plug-in microSD™ card upgrades Garmin chartplotters that came with built-in BlueChart® g3 coastal charts or LakeVü™ g3 inland maps to the Garmin Navionics+ all-in-one mapping solution.
Marine technicians and chartplotter owners install the card directly into a compatible Garmin unit’s card slot.
