Can I use my DirectRoute compatible GPS receiver for street routing and for marine use with the BlueNav charts?
Yes, but you have a GPS firmware decision to make. For most people who want to use their GPS with DirectRoute and BlueNav, the right choice is the Standard receiver firmware. It will do street routing if a DirectRoute map is active, and it will do all functions except marine tides and currents when a BlueNav chart is active. Conversly, if you choose the Marine firmware load because you really need tides and currents, you can use DirectRoute maps, search POIs, etc. but you can’t street route with that firmware. The one exception is SporTrak Color – it has only one firmware load, and it can do both routing and tides/currents. Firmware Update CD 1.
