Garmin BlueChart Coastal Chart, California to Mexico, 1-Foot Contours, Depth Range Shading, Shallow Water Shading

Overview

The Garmin BlueChart g3 HD HXUS021R is an electronic coastal chart region for California and Mexico that covers Point Arena to Puerto Vallarta, including Mendocino, San Francisco Bay, the Channel Islands, San Diego, and the Baja Peninsula, with general Mexican coast coverage that includes Mazatlan, Acapulco, and Salina Cruz.

Chart detail includes navigational aids, spot soundings, depth contours, tides and currents, and harbor and marina information.
