(Nasdaq: GRMN <http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=grmn&d=t> - News <http://finance.yahoo.com/q/h?s=grmn>), today announced a new line of chartplotter and chartplotter/sonar combination units that feature new, highly-detailed pre-loaded cartography. "Garmin's new line of chartplotters literally puts the world at boaters' fingertips," said Gary Kelley, Garmin's vice president of marketing. "With Garmin's newly-enhanced marine cartography, mariners can spend less time deciphering charts and more time enjoying their time on the water. These new units offer a wide variety of display sizes and networking options that will attract everyone from the weekend angler to the dedicated offshore mariner." The GPSMAP® 492 features built-in Marine Detail Charts of the United States coastline, including Alaska and Hawaii -- utilizing elements of Garmin's new BlueChart® g2(TM) technology. These charts provide integrated maps for a much smoother presentation. BlueChart g2 has all the detail of traditional BlueChart, but with 3D perspective, and richer detail and content -- data like tides and currents overlaid on the chart. Other chart features include shaded depth contours, port plans, wrecks, restricted areas, and more. for the rest of the article, go here: http://biz.yahoo.com/prnews/051114/cgm068.html?.v=18 .:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._ ANGIE COPE American Geographical Society Library UW Milwaukee 2311 E.
