Garmin · Vision card - BlueChart g2 SD card
The product poses a risk of injuries since in certain waters, there are inaccuracies and/or omissions in the way that the BlueChart g2 and BlueChart g2 Vision v2009 cards present depth contours and depth areas which could result in the depiction of water depth as deeper than the actual depth under certain display conditions. As such, there is a possibility of boats going aground leading to possible accidents.
