Good day to everyone. I bought a Garmin Echomap ULTRA 126SV.
Please tell me, is it possible to put cards on it for free?
Are only Navionics and Bluechart suitable? (I need east europe)
or are other Garmin card formats also possible?
Do I need to flash the device?

Simple way to avoid highways?

I have a Drivesmart 65 and there are times I will take a trip where I would like to take highways for most of the trip. I will set the destination with "Avoid Highways" unchecked and start my trip.

Garmin Bluechart G3 on GPSMAP 64s/65s

I was wondering if anybody was using Bluechart maps on a handheld like the 64s or 65s or similar?
If so, what info does it display? Is it worth it over plotting on a laptop/tablet/phone then exporting as a GPX?

I'm a little confused by the marine settings already so any info would be great help.
