On the Irish side it covers from Sheep Haven to Caherciveen, including Londonderry, The Storks, Belfast, and Dublin.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eCompatibility and setup\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eFit comes down to device support, not boat voltage, so it works the same on 12V or 24V systems as long as your Garmin plotter supports BlueChart g3 or BlueChart g3 Vision. For the SD card versions, your unit needs an available chart card slot. For the download versions, plan on using a computer with Garmin Express and a microSD\/SD card for the install. Mapping format support varies by model and software generation, so it is worth confirming your chartplotter lists BlueChart g3 or BlueChart g3 Vision as a supported map type before purchasing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eUse on board\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a good match for skippers who regularly cross the Irish Sea, run coastal passages between Scotland, Northern Ireland, and Wales, or work the approaches and harbors around the Isle of Man and the Irish east coast. It also suits anglers who want to quickly highlight depth bands and bottom shape, since the contour detail and shading tools make it easier to spot structure on screen.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eCare and handling\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eTreat the chart card like any other piece of electronics on board: keep the contacts clean, avoid leaving it where spray or condensation can sit on it, and store it in a dry case when it is not in the plotter.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Garmin","offers":[{"title":"BlueChart g3 Vision \/ SD Card","offer_id":52271100461237,"sku":"QBP457089-V1","price":249.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"BlueChart g3 Vision \/ Download","offer_id":52271100494005,"sku":"QBP457089-V2","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"BlueChart g3 \/ SD Card","offer_id":52271100526773,"sku":"QBP457089-V3","price":129.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"BlueChart g3 \/ Download","offer_id":52271100559541,"sku":"QBP457089-V4","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0977\/8171\/1029\/files\/1307323_qbp457089.jpg?v=1771552922","url":"https:\/\/www.qualityboatparts.com\/products\/qbp457089","provider":"Quality Boat Parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
