ChuckW - That is why I never purchased a unit that has built in maps/charts. With the new units you can only use the G2 or Vision Series charts. You can not get a version of them that works on the PC. There was a time when you could have the same charts on both PC and GPS units. That is the point of this whole thread that you are losing the ability to do route planning on your PC with the new Garmin units.
No you're not. You have two modes with the G2 Card paradigm. You can buy the G2 cards, and use them in your plotter, or you can buy the CD and a blank memory card and card reader/writer and push from your PC to the blank card. I've done this, even with my plotter which has built-in charts as well. So if you want the PC option, you need the blank memory card and reader writer, which I have.
