Bluechart software

Tue May 29, 2012 7:08 am

Hello. I'm interesed in bluechart software. Is there any way to get software from any GPSMAP 420/420s/520/520s/525/525s/4008/4012/5008/5012 kao i Nuvi 5550 Europe to run bluechart maps on any other device?
I believe that this is possible to make but don't know how to get software from any of these devices.

Sorry for bad English...
Thanks in advance

Unfortunately there is no way to do this.

You can use BlueCharts on nearly every Garmin unit, but not with all correct colors, symbols and functions.

And there is no way to install app from eg. nuvi 550. He is closest to all lother street navigation garmin's!?

No! Garmin devices have a Linux based OS, which works in a hidden section of internal memory, where you have no directly access. Every Garmin series have their own System, so that transfer or unlocking of functions are only possible between units of the same series.

This is momentary situation. Maybe in future some hackers find a way to do more :D.
