The Garmin VUS037R BlueChart g3 Vision HD is a microSD/SDC card that provides extensive coverage of North America's West coast, specifically from Vancouver to the United States' border with Mexico. It includes notable areas such as Puget Sound, San Francisco Bay, San Diego Harbor, the Columbia and Snake Rivers, and the California Delta from Sacramento to Stockton.
The BlueChart g3 Vision HD offers updated coastal charts that integrate Garmin and Navionics data. These charts are known for their industry-leading coverage, clarity, and detail. Additionally, the card features Auto Guidance technology, which calculates routes and provides suggested pathways to follow. The high-resolution relief shading feature adds color and shadow to the charts, offering a more detailed perspective of the bottom structure.
Other features included in the g3 Vision HD are NOAA Raster Cartography, depth range shading, shallow water shading, and high-resolution satellite images. These elements contribute to a comprehensive and visually rich navigation experience.
The g3 Vision HD also offers unique 3-D views called Marine Eye and Fish Eye views. These views provide an extra perspective both above and below the sea line, giving users a more immersive and detailed understanding of the marine environment.
It's important to note that Auto Guidance is designed for planning purposes only and should not be used as a replacement for safe navigation operations.
While the g3 Vision HD is incompatible with the echoMAP CHIRP and ECHOMAP Plus combinations, it can be viewed on mobile devices using the ActiveCaptain mobile app.
