Does this come with marine maps or do you have to purchase additional software?

It does not include marine charts. I purchased them seperately to see approximate depths. It does include inland waterway markers with their ID's.

Chrisitine, This item does not come with any maps as far as we know. At least the ones we ordered needed the map card to be iserted to show it. Hope this help...

You have to purchase them, but you won't get any new, because garmin changed format. Don't know, if you can load BlueChart *G2*, But old BlueCharts will do. Last one for Europe is from year 2009.

Yes , maps are already downloaded. Not sure what information you are looking for in a chart. If you are just looking for the map of Puget Sound and your position in it, the GPS will tell you. It tracks and you can set waypoints also, as well as shows direction on a compass, and speed. You can zoom the map in and out.

The 600 does not have preloaded maps. I purchased a City Navigator NT map and a local topo map separately. Happy with both maps. Saved money buying only what I need.

No. I contacted the provider of the map software only to find that this unit uses pirated/cracked software that they will not support.

Yes and no you will have only nautical charts not sonar charts and sonar logs or community charts and it is 2Gb not 16Gb go to www.navionics.com GPS chartplotier compatibility guide

Mine didn't come with software, per se, but I could usually re-map in game or in Windows. Had to download a free app to remap on my mac.

No, it has it's own built in maps ... which are fairly good. Nice about this is the fact that good maps are included. I bought a different brand and returned it because you had to purchase for an additional cost more detailed maps

The preloaded maps that came with my GPSMap 78 were completely useless. I had to add a micro sd card plus purchase a city map program to bring mine up to speed. Once you do that, it's an awesome device. A marine specific program or topo map might be what your husband would need in his kayak.

You are right, this write up doesn't say what comes with this unit. I'm pretty sure this comes with the following: 1. Maps of the U.S. (not North America) 2. Power cable for the car 3. A Windshield mount 4. A disk for using the windshield mount on your dash (not recommended) 5. A quick start guide (not very helpful). You should print out the full manual (you can access this from Garmin's website). You will also need a USB cable in order to register the unit and download firmware and map updates. (firmware updates are free ... map updates are free for the first 60 days, after that it will cost you.

US nautical charts should be pre-installed on the GPS. I verified this at Wesport in MA and it had the details of the passage to the port. Never been to Puget Sound before, so can not confirm. Suggest to ask the question to Garmin to be absolutely sure your area is pre-installed as well. Hope this is helpful.

The detailed answer involves lots of issues and background information regarding roads, bridges, land/water geography, nautical markers, etc. The practical answer is no, this software is for terrestrial navigation using roads.

Yes. It comes with a map function that is the same as GPS, and you can also get several free GPS apps.

No. Nor does it come with a USB cable (which you will need to register the unit and download free firmware updates as well as map updates). I guess that is why it is so inexpensive (Garmin gets their money one way or another).

It comes In a tube. Awesome map, used it to sail cape cod bay this August. Also has great info on the whales in the area.

It comes with everything as far as the direction and distance your dog is from you but you will probably have to download specific maps in your area. Once you have the maps you need, the system is awesome.

No, it does not. I can't even update the maps either. I guess it's too old. I may try hooking it up to the software this weekend to give it another try. I hadn't tried for quite a few months.
