Reporting Chart Errors

Even when a feature is shown on the paper chart, it can be overlooked or misspelled during the data entry 

process. These are small problems that can be easily corrected and do not affect the quality of the overall 

BlueChart data. If you notice something missing or incorrect in the BlueChart data, first check the best 

available scale paper charts of the area to see how the feature is represented on the paper chart. If we have 

not represented it accurately, or if you know additional information about the feature, please visit  the maps 

and charts section of Garmin’s Web site and fill out the online error report form. You can find this form at 

www.garmin.com/cartography. On the left side of the page is the link for Error Report Form.
