Garmin 182

A friend of mine has an older Garmin 182 chromavision GPS he said I can have. Does anyone know if you can put these newer map chips in it?I wanted to load one with the lakes around VA and NC.

We have no good knowledge or this Garmin unit. Someone will though, perhaps not a lot of BCB owners as we were never large on Garmin.

The navionics chips come on Micro SD, SD and CF chips, if yours accept any of these maybe it will work, No garmins were listed as compatable on Navionics web site.Good Luck, cant beat free!!!Pete

I had one of these units and it worked fine. Its a very basic GPS but you can not add any chips to this unit. You may be able to plug it into your computer and download maps but you cant plug any chips into it. If its free and you dont have a GPS why not try it? You dont have anything to lose and you can upgrade later.

Thanks for the Imfo Guys,,he said it had the Chesapeake Bay and Tributarys loaded in so I will try and figure out how to load Kerr Resevoir in maybe.I saw where Rick Clunn had a GPS and Antenna mounted on a board under his console where he could use it in different boats,thats what I was gonna do.

Call Garmin and they will help you out. (they have the best customer service I have found.) Most likley it is one of the ones that you plug into your computer and update. They will talk you through it step by step. (if the maps are still availble) Garmin changed all there maping a couple of years ago.
