Overview

The Garmin BlueChart g3 HD Navigation Chart - HXAE009R is an electronic chart region for compatible Garmin chartplotters, covering waters around Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia on either a preprogrammed card or as a download.

It includes practical navigation content like spot soundings, depth contours, tides, currents, navigation aids, and port and marina detail. You also get Depth Range Shading for up to 10 depth ranges, plus contour detail shown at up to 1-foot intervals where that data is available.

Shallow Water Shading lets you highlight a user-set depth so shoal areas stand out quickly on screen. If you choose the BlueChart g3 Vision version, the chart adds extra viewing modes and routing tools on compatible plotters.

Coverage and region notes

BlueChart g3 (HXAE009R) includes detailed coverage of the southwestern portion of the Malay Peninsula through Singapore and the eastern side of Sumatra Island. It also includes additional detailed charts around areas such as Kuantan, Jakarta, and Merak, plus Christmas, Keeling, and Cocos Islands, with broader coverage of Java, Celebes, the southern half of Borneo and surrounding islands east to Timor.

BlueChart g3 Vision (VAE009R) expands the region to cover the entire Malay Peninsula, plus areas including Thailand, Cambodia, and southern Vietnam (including Ho Chi Minh City and the Mekong Delta), along with Brunei and Indonesia west of Timor. Island coverage includes Java, Sumatra, Sulawesi and Borneo, and also the Andaman and Nicobar Islands as well as Christmas, Keeling, and Cocos Islands.

Compatibility and setup

These charts are made for Garmin chartplotters that support BlueChart g3 cartography and read charts from a memory card slot. If your unit only accepts full-size SD, the SD card variants include an adapter for the included microSD card.

For download variants, plan on using a computer with a card reader so the chart can be installed to a memory card with Garmin Express. Once loaded, the card is used in the plotter the same way as a preprogrammed card.

Use on board

This region suits skippers working busy traffic lanes and port approaches around Singapore, plus coastal cruising along the Malay Peninsula and crossings to Sumatra and nearby islands. It is also a good match for anglers working channels, reef edges, and harbor approaches who want finer contour detail where it is available.
