Garmin South America, North Marine Charts, microSD/SD Card, 1-Year Subscription

Overview

The Garmin South America, North Marine Charts is a regional cartography range for boaters navigating the northern coast of South America and nearby waters. Coverage centers on Panama including the Canal, plus coastal areas of Peru, Ecuador, Colombia, Venezuela, Trinidad and Tobago, Guyana, Suriname and French Guiana.

This chart range is used with compatible chartplotters and is supplied in microSD/SD card format with a one-year subscription for chart content and updates. It is a practical fit for cruising routes, fishing trips and passage planning where coastal detail, depth awareness and local chart information matter at the helm.

Key features

• Regional marine cartography for South America, North, including coastal and selected inland content where available.
• Available in Navionics+ and Navionics Platinum+ chart types for different levels of onboard chart detail.
• microSD/SD card format for installation in compatible chartplotters that support this Navionics chart family.
• One-year subscription includes access to chart content and updates during the subscription period.
• SonarChart HD bathymetry adds 1 ft contour detail where supported, useful for anglers and skippers working close to structure or changing depths.
• Dock-to-dock route guidance, community edits and advanced map options help with route planning when supported by the display and chart type.
• Platinum+ adds premium viewing layers such as relief shading, satellite imagery, aerial photos and 3D views on compatible systems.

Variants

This regional chart is offered in two chart types, with the same South America, North coverage area but different feature levels.

Navionics+ covers core coastal and inland charting functions for navigation and planning. Navionics Platinum+ includes the Navionics+ content and adds premium visual layers for skippers who want more bottom and shoreline context on a compatible chartplotter.

• NSSA011R: Navionics+ chart type. This version focuses on the main navigation chart set, including coastal and inland cartography, bathymetry, route planning tools and update access during the subscription period.
• NPSA011R: Navionics Platinum+ chart type. This version adds premium chart presentation features such as relief shading, satellite imagery, aerial photos and 3D views where supported by the chartplotter.

Compatibility and fit

Before ordering, match the chart type to the chartplotter on board. Navionics+ and Navionics Platinum+ cards are for compatible non-Garmin chartplotters; Garmin chartplotter owners should confirm whether their display requires Garmin Navionics+ or Garmin Navionics Vision+ instead.

The microSD/SD format keeps installation straightforward on supported displays. Insert the card, allow the chartplotter to read the cartography and verify the selected coverage region before relying on it for a trip.

Use cases on board

This chart is well suited to boats running coastal legs through northern South America, fishing near contours and structure, or planning routes around approaches, channels and marinas. Platinum+ is the better match for crews who use chart imagery and bottom detail heavily, while Navionics+ keeps the focus on the essential navigation chart set.
