As a part of the agreement, Jeppesen will provide extended nautical chart content for the benefit of Garmin BlueChart g2 and g2 Vision marine GPS navigation products. In this new phase, Garmin will provide its customers with the latest Jeppesen charts for parts of the Mediterranean and the Indian Ocean, in addition to renewed coverage for the Bahamas, an area which Jeppesen has supplied to Garmin for some years.

Bluechart from GarminDan Bartel, Garmin’s Vice President of Worldwide Sales, said: “We are committed to providing our customers with the best cartography solutions for our marine navigation products. For this reason, it is an important strategic step to choose Jeppesen, a worldwide leader in navigation solutions and marine charts, as a strategic ally to ensure that Garmin BlueChart customers benefit from the best marine cartography products.”

James Detar, Jeppesen Marine Portfolio Management Director, said: “This expanded arrangement between Jeppesen and Garmin follows on the success of past collaboration between the two companies and reaffirms Jeppesen’s intent to partner strategically in the dissemination of its high-quality navigation information.” For more on the latest charts now available, visit www.garmin.co.uk/bluechart            .
