What is going on here???

Raymarine discontinues the support of C-Map charts in their newer
charplotters and Garmin seems to be doing the same with other brands ...

Is it some kind of power play (call it marketing?), where we - the
users/customers - are the victims ...

Or, any other - more positive or constructive - explanation?

Especially as the g2 charts are only marginal better than the classic
bluecharts ....

I just heard today that the about to be released new 4000/5000 series
will only display g2 charts. If you have old mapsource or bluecharts
they will have to be upgraded. Very annoying that Garmin didi not
make the units backward compatible.
