Anyone running Garmin's BlueChart G3 Vision maps on their Garmin GPSMaps 741xs?

I attempted to purchase the G2 version but, what came in the mail was in fact the G3 version. Yesterday, I was told by Garmin that G3 wouldn't work...but, today I was told it would (also by Garmin).

Thanks in advance for your replies.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
 
Only one way to find out!

I have 741's installed and received a notice for a "free update" to G3 via my app. As such...I have to assume it will work with the 741.
 
You're suffering from some offseasonitis. You have 742's. :D

Holy crap...I need some time off for the holiday. Ha. I didn't even believe you until I just went back and looked at my app. Soooo....yeah...those 742's are really nice and definitely compatible with G3. ha.

Thanks, Roller!
 
Stee,

You are right...only one way to find out. Went over to boat and inserted the SD card...worked like a charm!
 
As a new boat owner, and new to the Potomac River, I have no idea where things really are on the river.Generally, I know DC is that direction, Cape Charles is the other direction but in between...no idea what's around.

Now, with the chart plotter, sonar, and soon to add VHF radio, I am going to feel way more confident heading out to places in the spring. Adding Navionics to my charting experience brings much relief.
 
TUS NUA, where on the Potomac are you? I'm up at the Occoquan River. If you have any questions, fire away.

Jaybeaux,

I am at Belmont Bay. I'm over at Occoquan Bay Marina from time-to-time. Good place and Karla the dock master is fabulous to work with.

I look forward to meeting you out on the water or at the marina!
