Overview

The Garmin BlueChart g3 Vision HD is an electronic chart for the South America East Coast region, covering the coastline from the Golfo de Paria to Tierra del Fuego.

Coverage includes Trinidad and Tobago, the Lago de Brasilia, the Rio de la Plata, the Rio Uruguay to Salto (Uruguay), the Rio Parana to Parana (Argentina), and the Falkland Islands (Islas Malvinas).

It adds chart detail like spot soundings, depth contours, tides and currents, plus planning tools like Auto Guidance route suggestions and depth range shading for up to 10 depth ranges. In areas where the data supports it, you also get tighter bottom detail with up to 1-foot contours.

Compatibility and fit

This is Garmin cartography intended for compatible Garmin marine chartplotters and supported marine handhelds. Your unit must support BlueChart g3 or BlueChart g3 Vision charts and have the matching storage method for the version you buy.

If you are running an older plotter, verify that it reads BlueChart g3 format before ordering. For SD card versions, confirm you have an SD or microSD slot available; for download versions, confirm your unit supports chart downloads for this product family.

Installation and setup

For SD card versions, insert the preprogrammed card into the chartplotter and enable the chart layer in your chart selection or map setup menu. Keep the card installed while you want this coverage available.

For download versions, install the chart to a compatible unit using Garmin’s chart installation workflow, then select the chart in the same chart setup area on the display.

Use on board

This chart is a good match for coastal cruising, fishing, and longer passages along the Atlantic side of South America when you want depth information, tides and currents, and clear harbor detail in one place.

Auto Guidance is a planning tool. Always cross-check the suggested route against local conditions, updated information, and what you see on the water.
