Auto Guidance uses your preferred depth and overhead clearance settings to calculate a suggested route, and depth range shading lets you highlight up to 10 target depth ranges for quick at-a-glance decisions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen your plotter supports it, you can also use 3D MarinerEye and FishEye views, high-resolution satellite imagery with charts overlaid, and detailed contours shown down to 1-foot increments for closer reading around structure, shoals, and tight approaches.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eKey features\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCoverage for Newfoundland West (VCA008R): Strait of Belle Isle to Placentia Bay, including St. George's Bay and Fortune Bay, plus Quebec and Labrador from La Romaine to Red Bay\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAuto Guidance uses your depth and overhead clearance preferences to calculate a suggested route on supported chartplotters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDepth range shading for up to 10 depth ranges to keep the display focused on the depths you care about\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShallow water shading at a user-defined depth to make avoid areas stand out\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3D views (MarinerEye and FishEye) for an alternate perspective above and below the waterline on supported units\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh-resolution satellite imagery with chart overlay for better visual recognition in ports, harbors, and unfamiliar entrances\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDetailed contours with 1-foot increments for tighter bottom definition where available\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch6\u003eVariants\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis chart is offered in two purchase formats.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe map content is the same; the difference is how you load it onto the chartplotter: a preloaded card or a download you install to a microSD or SD card using Garmin Express.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e010-C0694-00: Format SD Card.

Not every Garmin unit supports Vision charts, and some Vision features can be limited by the model and its software.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf your display relies only on built-in mapping or does not accept a chart card, this chart will not load.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eInstallation and setup\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor the SD card version, installation is as simple as inserting the card into the plotter. For the download version, you will load the chart onto a microSD\/SD card with Garmin Express and then move that card to the boat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlan on dedicating a card to this region, since only one chart can be installed per microSD\/SD card. Keep the chart card seated in the unit while navigating so the chart layers and data remain available.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eOn-board use notes\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eAuto Guidance is a planning tool, not an autopilot. Make sure your boat dimensions and safety margins are set correctly in the chartplotter, and always cross-check the suggested route against local conditions, notices, and what you can see outside the helm.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis coverage is a strong fit for coastal cruising, fishing runs, and transits along Newfoundland's west and south coasts, especially when you want extra context for unfamiliar harbors and tight approaches.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Garmin","offers":[{"title":"SD Card","offer_id":52270951334069,"sku":"QBP386407-V1","price":349.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Download","offer_id":52270951366837,"sku":"QBP386407-V2","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0977\/8171\/1029\/files\/1306465_qbp386407.jpg?v=1771552048","url":"https:\/\/www.qualityboatparts.com\/products\/qbp386407","provider":"Quality Boat Parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
