Garmin BlueChart g3 Coastal Chart, Gulf of Bothnia, Kalix-Grisslehamn

Overview

The Garmin BlueChart g3 is an electronic chart option for compatible Garmin chartplotters, covering VEU047R (Gulf of Bothnia, Kalix to Grisslehamn).

Coverage includes detailed coastal areas from Gävle, Sweden through Pori, Finland, with key ports and approaches around Oulu and Vaasa, plus Swedish coverage around Luleå Skärgård. This region is offered as standard BlueChart g3 or BlueChart g3 Vision mapping, and you can get it either on a card or as a download.

BlueChart g3 includes navigation charts with depth contours and fishing (bathymetric) detail, plus tidal stations and currents where available for the area. BlueChart g3 Vision keeps those same core charts and adds extras like 3D views and aerial or satellite imagery overlays for more visual context when you are entering harbors, running unfamiliar stretches, or scouting structure.

Variants

This chart region is offered in multiple configurations, so you can match the chart type (BlueChart g3 or BlueChart g3 Vision) and the delivery format (card or download) to your setup.

All options cover the same VEU047R area. The main differences are the Vision vs. non-Vision feature set and whether you receive a preloaded card or install the download to a microSD or SD card for use in the chartplotter.

Compatibility and fit

This chart is for Garmin chartplotters and sounders that support BlueChart g3 or BlueChart g3 Vision mapping. It will not load on non-Garmin displays, and some newer Garmin units that use the newer Garmin Navionics+ mapping format do not accept BlueChart g3 cards.

If you are running more than one display, confirm compatibility for each unit that needs access to the chart region, especially if you have a mix of older and newer Garmin models on board.

Installation and setup

For the card versions, insert the chart card into the chartplotter and use the chart selection controls to view the VEU047R region. Keep the card in the unit when you want this region available at the helm.

For the download versions, install the chart to a microSD or SD card using Garmin software, then insert that card into the chartplotter. Use a clean card dedicated to mapping so the chartplotter reads the data consistently.

Use cases on board

This chart region is a practical fit for boats running the Gulf of Bothnia who want solid local detail for coastal navigation, harbor approaches, and route planning. If you spend time fishing the area, the depth contours and shading tools help you work specific depth bands and follow bottom changes without constantly zooming and panning.
