This bit of software works with compatible Garmin GPS units to view BlueChart g2 charts on your PC. Once installed, it allows you to take the BlueChart g2 microSD card from your unit, put it into an SD card adapter, and into your computer's card reader. From there you can view the charts, plan your trip, and enter waypoints, routes, and tracks. Once finished, save your data to the card, put it back into your handheld device to take with you. You can also just plug your GPS unit directly into your PC and it will read the card that way as well.
