Garmin BlueChart g3 Vision HD VUS002R Coastal Chart, South Maine, Auto Guidance, 1 ft Contours, High-Resolution Relief Shading

Overview

The Garmin BlueChart g3 Vision HD VUS002R is an electronic chart for compatible Garmin chartplotters covering the South Maine coast from Penobscot Bay through Gloucester, including Casco Bay and Cape Ann.

It adds planning and visual layers that are helpful when you are running close to shore, working tidal harbors, or easing into marinas. You get Auto Guidance route suggestions based on your selected depth and overhead clearance, plus bottom detail shown with up to 1-foot contours and depth range shading with up to 10 ranges.

On supported displays, the chart can be viewed with relief shading, shallow water shading, satellite imagery, and 3-D perspectives (MarinerEye and FishEye). NOAA raster cartography can also be downloaded through the ActiveCaptain app when you want that paper-chart look on a mobile device or compatible system.

Key features

• Covers Penobscot Bay through Gloucester, including Casco Bay and Cape Ann.
• Auto Guidance route suggestions using your chosen depth and overhead clearance settings.
• Depth range shading with up to 10 depth ranges for quick depth targeting.
• Bottom detail with up to 1-foot contours for tighter depiction around ledges, channels, and marinas.
• High-resolution relief shading that makes bottom structure easier to read than contours alone.
• Shallow water shading to highlight depths you want to avoid.
• High-resolution satellite imagery for ports, marinas, bridges, and navigational landmarks.
• MarinerEye and FishEye 3-D views for above-water and below-water perspective.

Variants

This chart is offered in multiple configurations so you can match how you prefer to load cartography onto your system.

The coverage and chart content stay focused on VUS002R South Maine. The difference is the delivery format and how the chart is associated with your equipment during setup.

• 010-C0703-00: Format microSD/SD. Pre-programmed chart card format for compatible chartplotters that read charts from a card.
• 010-D0533-00: Format Download. Installed using Garmin Express and unlocked to a single compatible chartplotter during setup, then written to a microSD/SD card for use in that unit.

Compatibility and fit

This product is cartography only, so the main fit check is your chartplotter. Confirm your Garmin unit supports BlueChart g3 Vision mapping and that you have an available microSD or SD card slot for chart data.

The pre-programmed card format is not locked to one unit, while the download format is tied to the chartplotter selected during the download and registration process.

Installation and setup

With the microSD/SD version, insert the chart card into the chartplotter’s card slot and select the chart in the chart menu. Keep the card installed while you are using the mapping.

With the download version, Garmin Express installs the chart to a microSD/SD card after you register the target chartplotter. That card needs to stay with the device it was unlocked to.

Auto Guidance is a planning aid and does not replace safe navigation, local knowledge, and good watchkeeping.

Use on board

This coverage is a good match for coastal cruisers and anglers who spend time between Penobscot Bay, Casco Bay, and Cape Ann and want detailed contours for lining up structure, channels, and harbor entrances. The added shading and imagery layers are also useful when you want faster visual confirmation of what is around you as you approach ports and marinas.

Care and handling

Keep the chart card dry and clean, and store it in its case when it is not in the plotter. Avoid bending the card or contaminating the contacts, especially in a damp helm or cockpit environment.
