For card-based versions, the helm display needs an open microSD or SD card slot. For download versions, plan on using a computer with Garmin Express and a suitable microSD or SD card for the chart installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf your boat runs multiple displays, check chart compatibility on each unit before purchase. Chart recognition and premium layer availability depend on the specific chartplotter model and software.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eInstallation and setup\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eSD card format is straightforward: insert the microSD card (or use the SD adapter), power up the chartplotter, and select the chart source on the unit. Keep the card inserted while underway so the plotter can access the chart data.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDownload format is installed with Garmin Express, which writes the chart to a microSD or SD card for your chartplotter. Only one chart can be installed to a single microSD or SD card, so it is best to dedicate a card to this coverage area.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eUse on board\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis coverage is a good match for skippers running the island chain from Eleuthera through the Exumas and down toward the Dominican Republic, and for crews who want tighter depth detail when navigating banks and cuts. Depth shading and 1-foot contours are especially helpful in waters where a small change in depth matters near reefs, shoals, and shallow anchorages.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Garmin","offers":[{"title":"BlueChart g3 \/ SD Card","offer_id":52270930395317,"sku":"QBP381086-V1","price":149.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"BlueChart g3 \/ Download","offer_id":52270930428085,"sku":"QBP381086-V2","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"BlueChart g3 Vision \/ SD Card","offer_id":52270930460853,"sku":"QBP381086-V3","price":349.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"BlueChart g3 Vision \/ Download","offer_id":52270930493621,"sku":"QBP381086-V4","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0977\/8171\/1029\/files\/1306389_qbp381086.jpg?v=1771551917","url":"https:\/\/www.qualityboatparts.com\/products\/qbp381086","provider":"Quality Boat Parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
