MAP DATA INFORMATION:
One of the goals of Garmin is to provide
customers with the most complete and accurate cartography that is available
to us at a reasonable cost. We use a combination of governmental and private
data sources, which we identify as required in product literature and copyright
messages displayed to the consumer. Virtually all data sources contain
inaccurate or incomplete data to some degree. This is particularly true outside
the United States, where complete and accurate digital data is either not
available or prohibitively expensive.
WARNING:
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is operated by the
United States government, which is solely responsible for its accuracy
and maintenance. The system is subject to changes which could affect the
accuracy and performance of all GPS equipment. Although the Garmin
GPSMAP 188/188C Sounder is a precision electronic NAVigation AID
(NAVAID), any NAVAID can be misused or misinterpreted, and therefore
become unsafe.
WARNING:
This product, its packaging, and its components contain
chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects,
or reproductive harm. This Notice is being provided in accordance with
California’s Proposition 65. If you have any questions or would like additional
