Overview

The Garmin 010-C1048-20 is a BlueChart g3 HD chart card (HXEU062R) for Russian Inland Waterways in microSD/SD format. It focuses on main-channel coverage across major river systems and inland routes in western Russia, including the Don River, the Volga River, and the Volga-Don Canal.

On compatible Garmin chartplotters, it supports integrated Garmin and Navionics content along with tools like Auto Guidance routing, Depth Range Shading for up to 10 depth ranges, and detailed contours up to 1 foot where that level of survey data is available.

This is a physical chart card that reads directly from the plotter’s card slot, which is useful when you want dedicated regional coverage on board without depending on a download at the dock.

Key features

• Preloaded BlueChart g3 HD region HXEU062R for Russian Inland Waterways on a microSD/SD card
• Covers main channels and inland routes across western Russia, including parts of the Don and Volga systems and connected waterways
• Integrated Garmin and Navionics chart content for a familiar chart presentation and detail layering
• Auto Guidance can calculate a suggested route based on user-entered depth and overhead clearance settings (device support required)
• Depth Range Shading supports up to 10 depth ranges to make target depths easier to spot at a glance
• Shallow Water Shading lets you set a depth threshold so shallows stand out more clearly on screen
• Detailed contours up to 1 foot where available, which helps when reading channel edges, marinas, and structure
• Requires a compatible Garmin chartplotter with a microSD or SD card slot that supports BlueChart g3 chart cards

Coverage and chart details

HXEU062R is centered on inland navigation in western Russia. Coverage includes the Don River from the Sea of Azov toward the Tsimlyansk Reservoir, the Volga-Don Canal into the Volga River, and additional connected waterways such as sections of the Kama and Oka river systems.

This is a Cyrillic data card, with chart information presented in Cyrillic for local place names and features.

Compatibility and fit

Confirm your Garmin display supports BlueChart g3 charts and has the correct card slot for the media type used on your unit (microSD or SD). If your system is preloaded with a different charting platform or uses another chart format, it will not read this card.

If your boat setup uses a second card slot for user data, sonar recordings, or updates, plan which slot will stay dedicated to cartography so the chart remains available underway.

Installation and onboard use

Power the chartplotter off, insert the card, then restart the unit. Once it boots, select the chart source or map product in the chart menu and enable the BlueChart layers you want to see, such as depth shading or contour detail.

Auto Guidance generates a suggested path based on the settings you enter. Review any suggested route against local rules, notices, and real conditions in the channel before relying on it.

Use cases on board

This card is a good match for skippers running rivers, canals, and connected lakes in western Russia who want chart detail that supports depth-aware navigation and tighter inland routing. It also fits crews who rely on contour detail for fishing structure when the underlying survey data supports it.

If you regularly travel outside this chart region, you will need separate coverage for those areas.
