Overview

The Garmin BlueChart g3 Vision HD is an HD electronic chart for the Oslo to Trelleborg region (VEU042R) that loads on compatible Garmin chartplotters via SD card media or a download option. Coverage includes the Norwegian and Swedish coasts from Arendal to Trelleborg, with additional areas along the eastern Danish coast and selected inland lakes.

This chart combines Garmin and Navionics cartography and adds planning tools like Auto Guidance, Depth Range Shading, Shallow Water Shading, and 1 ft contours for clearer bottom detail. Auto Guidance is a route suggestion based on your boat settings and the chart data, so it still needs a quick reality check against local conditions.

Key features

• Region VEU042R coverage for Oslo to Trelleborg, including coastal waters plus additional eastern Danish coast and inland lake coverage within the same region
• Integrated Garmin and Navionics mapping content for consistent shoreline and depth detail
• Auto Guidance support for creating a suggested path using user-entered vessel parameters
• Depth Range Shading and Shallow Water Shading for faster depth awareness when running in unfamiliar water
• 1 ft contours for tighter bottom definition in areas where that detail is available
• Offered as BlueChart g3 Vision or BlueChart g3, with SD card and download formats depending on the part number

Variants

This chart region is offered in multiple configurations so you can match your plotter and how you prefer to load cartography.

Options vary by chart edition (BlueChart g3 Vision or BlueChart g3) and by delivery format (SD card or download).

• 010-C0779-00: BlueChart g3 Vision, SD card format. A physical card is practical when you want a simple plug-in install on a unit with a chart card slot.
• 010-D0450-00: BlueChart g3 Vision, download format. This version is delivered electronically and is installed through the standard Garmin chart download and transfer process.
• 010-C0779-20: BlueChart g3, SD card format. This is the standard BlueChart g3 edition on removable media for plotters that read charts from a card slot.
• 010-D0293-00: BlueChart g3, download format. The download format avoids shipping a card and is managed through the same Garmin software workflow used for other digital charts.

Compatibility and fit

Confirm your chartplotter supports the specific chart edition you are buying (BlueChart g3 Vision or BlueChart g3) and the delivery method. For card versions, your unit needs an SD or microSD chart slot that matches the media type used for this region. For download versions, plan on using a supported transfer method to load the chart to your device or chart storage.

Because this is a regional chart, it is a good match for boats that spend time in the Oslo to Trelleborg area and want coverage that also includes nearby inland waters. If your routes regularly extend beyond this region, you will want additional chart regions so you are not switching coverage mid passage.

Installation and setup

For SD card versions, insert the card into the chart slot and power the unit on, then select the chart layer in your chart settings. For download versions, complete the chart installation and transfer, then verify the chart is enabled before you cast off.
