This is a blurb from the Garmin site.

Out of an abundance of caution, Garmin has voluntarily chosen to globally recall its 2009
version of BlueChart g2 and g2 Vision data cards. In certain waters, there are
inaccuracies and/or omissions in the way that this specific version of charting
represents depth contours and depth areas, resulting in the depiction of water depth as
deeper than the actual depth under certain display conditions.

BlueChart g2 VisionBoaters should not use BlueChart g2 or g2 Vision 2009 data cards,
dated March 2009, for navigation. Any boater who owns BlueChart g2 or g2 Vision v2009
will be given a replacement traditional BlueChart card or g2 Vision card v2008.5 (dated
July 2008) free of charge and will also receive the 2009 card free of charge when it is
re-released. Affected customers may contact their retailer or Garmin directly at
1-800-800-1020, email cartographyrb2@gr5tgarmin.com, or visit www.garmin.com/bluechartrecall.

Garmin apologizes for this inconvenience and is working diligently to ensure that boaters
can rely on future versions of BlueChart.
 
Thanks hvacmach! Nice to see a "newbie" to this site making such a useful contribution!
