Just got a Garmin Oregon 600 and am now itching to get some charts for it.

GB2 - you still using Bluechart? I did a search but there's not much posted about it.

There's an entire US one, a westcoast one, a California/Mexico one......

Since they're all the same price do I just go with the largest covered area, or are the smaller area charts more detailed?

Thanks for any help!

I have a Garmin Montana loaded with US- All & Canadian West Coast.  It goes from SoCal border to AK and has depth contours to about 10 ft. MLPA boundaries are on display. Tons of other useful info. I highly recommend it.

I've been running bluecharts for the past month on the garmin 60csx in the salt and cant believe I didn't get it sooner. It's great to mark a hot salmon area on the fly, find your waypoint reefs and find your way through the fog. Its not as detailed as the navionics but will still show you the depths,reefs restricted areas and more. You can pick up the whole U.S. map for 50 bucks on eBay
