Garmin BlueChart g3 Coastal Chart, VEU043R Iceland to Orkney

Overview

The Garmin BlueChart VEU043R is an electronic chart region that covers Iceland to Orkney for use on compatible Garmin marine chartplotters. It is available as BlueChart g3 or BlueChart g3 Vision, and it comes either on a microSD/SD card or as a download, depending on how you prefer to load charts on board.

On a supported plotter, features like Auto Guidance and Depth Range Shading help with route planning and quick depth targeting, with up to 10 depth ranges available for shading. The Vision version adds extra visual layers such as satellite imagery overlays, aerial photography, and 3D perspectives (FishEye and MarinerEye) when your chartplotter supports those views.

Key features

• VEU043R coverage for Iceland to Orkney, built for Garmin chartplotters that support BlueChart g3 or g3 Vision charting.
• Two chart versions available: BlueChart g3 (standard) and BlueChart g3 Vision (adds imagery and 3D views where supported).
• Two delivery formats available: physical microSD/SD card or digital download for chart loading to a compatible card.
• Depth Range Shading supports up to 10 depth ranges for spotting target depths quickly on compatible units.
• Shallow Water Shading lets you highlight a user-set shallow depth, which is useful when entering unfamiliar harbors or working close to shore.

Variants

This chart region is offered in multiple configurations so you can match the chart version and delivery format to your Garmin setup.

The options vary by BlueChart version (g3 Vision or g3) and by format (SD card or download). The covered region remains VEU043R.

• 010-C0780-00: BlueChart g3 Vision, SD Card. This is the physical card format for chartplotters that read charts from a card slot.
• 010-D0451-00: BlueChart g3 Vision, Download. This is delivered digitally for loading onto a compatible memory card using Garmin’s chart download process.
• 010-C0780-20: BlueChart g3, SD Card. This is the standard g3 chart set for the region on a physical card, without the added Vision imagery layers.
• 010-D0294-00: BlueChart g3, Download. This is the standard g3 chart set delivered digitally for loading onto a compatible memory card.

Compatibility and fit

Confirm your chartplotter supports the chart type you are buying (BlueChart g3 or BlueChart g3 Vision) and that it can read charts from a card slot. If you are choosing a download format, plan on loading the chart to a compatible memory card before heading offshore, then insert that card into the plotter for use.

Feature availability can vary by chartplotter model and software level. If you rely on 3D views, satellite overlays, or aerial photography, confirm your unit supports those Vision features before selecting the g3 Vision option.

Installation and setup

For SD card versions, insert the chart card into the plotter’s card slot and keep the card dry when handling it at the helm. For download versions, complete the download and card loading ahead of time, then install the card in the plotter the same way you would with a preloaded chart card.

Use on board

This chart region is a good match for coastal cruising and passage planning around Iceland and toward the Northern Isles, where clear depth context and hazard awareness matter. It also suits anglers who like working contour structure and using depth shading to stay on a chosen band while moving between spots.

As with any electronic cartography, it works best as part of a normal navigation routine: keep your plotter software current, cross-check critical decisions with other onboard information, and plan conservatively in tight or unfamiliar waters.
