Epic Marine Maps in the UK

dfhage over 1 year ago

Hello All,

What are my best options for a marine map of the south coast of the UK for my Epic Gen 2 ?

Are the Bluechart maps the only option

Many thanks

Regards

Dave

The garmin ones are pretty expensive: https://www.garmin.com/en-GB/c/wearables-mapping/?sorter=price-desc

(bluechart 3g vision).

Other alternative would be to find an open source and load those charts, or to use a guy like talky toaster:

TalkyToaster: https://talkytoaster.me.uk/ (not sure he does charts but suspect he could if he wanted to especially as his maps often go out a couple of miles and shows quite a bit of detail (but not seen any depth measurements).

Open Charts: https://openseamap.org/index.php?id=openseamap&no_cache=1
