As far as I understand if you have a Garmin plotter you have to use the Bluechart maps. Bluechart isn't as good as Navionics but you don't have a choice.

Bluechart g2 is the basic charts, Bluechart g2 Vision has a few extra things like satellite images and 3d perspective. I don't know if the Vision is worth paying extra money for though.

Any boat shop that sells Garmin equipment should be able to sell you a card. You just have to pick the map area you want.

When I bought my Garmin plotter it came with all of Australia/NZ maps built in so didn't need a card. Maybe double check that you actually need it first.

Yeah right. My bad...

Im not familiar with Bluechart. Ive got C-map on my Furuno and it doesnt even come close to Navionics in regards to detail.
