Garmin 180 unit requires the now, unfortunately, discontinued G Charts and
will NOT run Garmin Bluecharts.

I`m afraid the G Charts were made by Navionics under licence to Garmin and were discontinued approx 3 years ago - so I wish you luck in your quest but fear your only chance is to purchase second hand G Charts, if you can find them,
but dont forget these will not be up to date!

Sorry to be the bearer of sad tidings.

Navionics were still able to supply them less than 2 years ago. Worth giving them a call I reckon. You might be lucky.

Bluecharts will not run in the old Garmins as Steve has said.

Kelvin Hughes ( Southampton ) were still able to supply G Charts last year but were warning of their withdrawal. Good Luck .
