Cheers, Bruce (bruceinbangkokatgmaildotcom) No, it's a 182C. It still works fine! It has BlueCharts for US Lakes, and the Gulf Coast. |

When I bought the current Garmin 128, that I have now, I had the darnedest time. I usually get these kind of goodies in Singapore in a small shop where I've been trading for years. This time all the guy had were mini-chart plotters (or whatever you calls them). since I don't find charts of the East Coast or Great lakes to be much use in this area I had him locate what may be the last 128 sold in Asia for me. You can also buy the garmin hand held, that the joggers and bicycle guys apparently use - with California charts :-) In Singapore ??? Cheers, Bruce (bruceinbangkokatgmaildotcom) |

I wonder if this guy sells the Garmin G-Chart chips separately ? Specifically the mini g-charts... I have a 180 and am having a difficult time finding the chart chips for the Nth Pacific, US west coast and nearby areas. Do you have any way I could contact him ? Thanks, Brian Cleverly (add an "le" after the "c" to reply direct). |

Bruce's "man" could be a treasure. I've managed to ferret out a few chips on Ebay and Craigslist, but still have a few holes in the coverage. Brian C |

Thanks, Brian Cleverly (add an "le" after the "c" to reply direct). I could direct you to his shop but have no idea whether he can be contacted by electronic means. I can get a mate to drop by and ask but it doesn't seem likely that a shop in Singapore would stock N. American charts :-) From observation they trade mainly in Singapore and Indonesia so I assume that he would have chart chips for these two areas, or perhaps regions, and probably order other areas from whatever source furnishes them. Just asking, but doesn't Garmin sell the chart chips separately? Cheers, Bruce (bruceinbangkokatgmaildotcom) |

Cheers, Bruce (bruceinbangkokatgmaildotcom) Unfortunately the model I have is long out of production and Garmin (in their infinite wisdom) discontinued the G-Chart chips at the same time. These are a mini-chip and none of their other models uses that size. To compound matters even further Garmin, at some time in the near past, dropped their proprietary chart format and now use a different one. So now they have a number of models that the owners can no longer obtain chart chips and Garmin's answer to any inquiries is decidedly "stiff cheese". Brian C |

Did some more checking and you can contact the shop I was referring to at: or http://www.blazer.com.sg/ Everyone there speaks English so you should have no communications problems.
