The GPSMAP 2006/2010’s system has a built-in worldwide database to 20 mi, with more detailed
coverage available through the use of the optional BlueChart or MapSource data. The GPSMAP 2006/2010
will display cartography as long as there is chart information available for the range you’ve selected. Map
coverage will conform to the following conditions:
• When the selected zoom range is covered by either the internal database, BlueChart, or MapSource
data, cartography will be displayed.
• When the selected zoom range is covered by both the internal database and BlueChart/MapSource
data, cartography will be displayed using the data with the best resolution.
• When the selected zoom range exceeds the resolution of the data in use, overzoom cartography will
be displayed and an ‘overzoom’ warning will appear below the scale field.
