General

The Marine Point Database (Americas) basemap comes factory installed into user memory of the GPS 72, GPS 76, GPS152, eTrex Legend and eTrex Vista. [The Legend and Vista also contain a built in Americas Highway basemap.]

The standard map coverage includes:

1. Worldwide cities with population 200K and above
2. Nautical navaids for North and South America (lights, buoys, sound signals & day beacons)
3. Preloaded with tide stations for the US only

NOTE: If MapSource data is loaded into these units, the preloaded Marine Point Database will be erased from user memory. The Marine POI database can be recovered from the GARMIN web site. [NOTE: The basemap in the Legend and Vista is fixed in memory and is not overwritten.]

This basemap comes factory installed with the StreetPilot III, StreetPilot 2610, StreetPilot 2620, StreetPilot 2720, StreetPilot 7200, GPS V, GPSMAP 196 Americas,  GPSMAP 276C, GPSMAP 376C, GPSMAP 296 Americas, GPSMAP 396, GPSMAP 76C, GPSMAP 76CS, Quest and Quest 2 and other aviation models.

Please note:

• GARMIN mapping units come with built-in, permanent basemaps that cannot be altered. These basemaps come in a variety of global designations(e.g. Americas basemap, Atlantic basemap, Pacific basemap)
• For non-aviation use, units with the Americas basemap are supplied by GARMIN only to dealers in the Americas; Atlantic basemap models can only be purchased from dealers within the detailed coverage of that basemap, and likewise for Pacific basemap models.
• The only Atlantic and Pacific basemap models available from GPS Central are the Atlantic and Pacific versions of the GPSMAP 196.
• Factory-installed basemaps cannot be altered.
