Garmin BlueChart Coastal Navigation Chart, Taiwan, 1 ft Contours, 10 Depth Range Shading, Shallow Water Shading

Overview

The Garmin BlueChart g3 HD Navigation Chart HXAE003R is a coastal navigation chart package that covers Mainland China from Macau to Shanghai, the full coast of Taiwan, the Ryukyu Islands to the east, and the Babuyan Islands to the south.

It adds chart detail such as depth contours, spot soundings, aids to navigation and IALA symbols, plus tide stations, currents, and harbor or marina information where it is available in the chart data. The chart boundary includes Hong Kong, but chart data around Hong Kong is excluded.

This chart is offered as either a preprogrammed SD card or as a download that is installed to a memory card using Garmin Express. You can also choose between BlueChart g3 and BlueChart g3 Vision, with Vision adding extra on-screen presentation layers on compatible chartplotters.

Compatibility and fit

This is cartography for compatible Garmin chartplotters (and supported Garmin marine handhelds). Confirm your device supports BlueChart g3 and has the appropriate microSD or SD card slot for the format you plan to use.

If you are using the Download format, the chart is installed to a microSD/SD card with Garmin Express, and only one chart can be installed per memory card. Downloaded charts are unlocked to the chartplotter they are registered to, and they will not display if the card is moved to a different device.

When used in the correct chartplotter, the chart can be shared across a Garmin marine network so other compatible displays on the network can view the mapping without needing a second copy.

Installation and setup

For the SD Card format, insert the card into the chartplotter and select the chart layer from the chart or map settings. Many features are controlled on the plotter itself, such as depth shading ranges and shallow water shading, so you can tune the display to your draft and how you run your boat.

For the Download format, use Garmin Express on a computer to install the chart to a microSD/SD card. Keep that card with the chartplotter it is registered to if you want the chart to appear on the device and be shared over the network.

Use cases on board

This chart is a practical match for cruisers, anglers, and delivery skippers running Taiwan waters, the Taiwan Strait, and nearby island groups who want consistent chart detail when moving between major ports and coastal approaches. It is also useful for boats that split time between Taiwanese waters and nearby East China Sea routes, where tides, currents, and bottom contour detail matter day to day.
