We put you on the map!
Cartography is the art and science of making maps. We have a team of cartographers and engineers who develop digital geographic data that can be used in a variety of our products. You'll see mapping detail that will supplement your unit's existing basemap and improve navigation.

Land Cartography
MapSource

MapSource products provide geographic data in CD-ROM format that can be viewed on a PC. Additionally, some GARMIN units (currently the GPS III+, 12MAP, NavTalk, GPSMAP 162, GPSMAP 168 Sounder, StreetPilot, StreetPilot ColorMap, GPSMAP 295, and eMap) can accept map dowloads from various MapSource products to augment the detail already on your GARMIN GPS basemap.

Our current line of MapSource CD-ROM products includes; United States Roads & Recreation for detailed coverage of the U.S., MetroGuide U.S.A. for details like the locations of restaurants, banks, gas stations, and tourist attractions, WorldMap for general coverage of the world, United States TOPO for topographical detail of the US, and U.S. Waterways & Lights for general marine interests.

MetroGuides
MetroGuide For eMap, StreetPilot and StreetPilot ColorMap owners, GARMIN offers MetroGuide cartography. MetroGuide cartridges are the electronic equivalent to paper maps and provide greater detail to the StreetPilot line of products. You'll see the locations of restaurants, banks, gas stations, and tourist attractions, plus much more.
Marine Cartography
GARMIN offers two different types of marine cartography: Inland and Offshore. GARMIN's G-Charts also come in two sizes: Standard G-chart or Micro G-charts. Your GARMIN chartplotter will accept either the original G-chart or a Micro G-chart. They are not interchangeable. Please remember that these electronic charts are to be used only as an aid to navigation.
OffShore G-Charts
Offshore G-Chart Offshore G-charts feature seamless Navionics data with continuous coverage between charts, which means you can cruise extended areas without losing detailed coverage. These charts feature complete depth contours, navaids, and port plans that show names of harbors, towns, marinas, inlets, hazards, and other data. We've even enhanced the data to display symbols and navaids right on the screen.
Inland G-Charts
Inland G-Chart Inland G-charts have detailed coverage of interstate, national, and state highways and county roads, and help you find unfamiliar lakes, boat ramps, and services. Once you're in the water, you'll be able to see what's beyond the next mile marker and quickly find fuel, first aid, or facilities. These cartridges provide state-by-state coverage down to 1 nautical mile.
Please Note: GARMIN strives to provide its customers with the most economical, accurate, and up-to-date electronic maps available. However, features are continually changing, so the data may not reflect the latest modifications and/or additions in your area.
