Overview

The Garmin EU053R Norway, Trondheim to Tromso is an electronic chart coverage area for the Norwegian coast between Trondheim and Tromsø, built for use on compatible Garmin chartplotters.

This coverage combines coastal and inland mapping, with detailed nautical charts and depth information that you can view with depth range shading (up to 10 depth ranges) and shallow water shading. A one-year subscription is included and, once activated, it unlocks daily chart updates through the ActiveCaptain app plus downloads of additional content such as raster charts and premium layers where available.

Variants

The region stays the same (EU053R Norway, Trondheim to Tromso). The differences between options are the chart version (Garmin Navionics+ vs Garmin Navionics Vision+) and the format (microSD/SD card vs download).

• 010-C1252-20: Version Garmin Navionics+; Format microSD/SD. A physical chart card that installs by inserting it into the chartplotter’s card slot.
• 010-D1854-20: Version Garmin Navionics+; Format Download. You load the chart to a compatible memory card using Garmin Express before using it in the chartplotter.
• 010-C1252-00: Version Garmin Navionics Vision+; Format microSD/SD. Adds premium layers such as high-resolution relief shading and satellite imagery where available, with downloads managed through the subscription.
• 010-D1854-00: Version Garmin Navionics Vision+; Format Download. The Vision+ version delivered via download for loading onto a compatible memory card.

Installation and updates

For the microSD/SD format, the chart card is the working media on board: insert it into the chartplotter to access the region. For the download format, plan on doing the initial load at home or dockside so you can write the chart to a compatible memory card before heading out.

After you activate the included subscription, you can pull daily updates and eligible add-on content through the ActiveCaptain app. Charts and features downloaded during the subscription period stay on the card, but additional downloads stop when the subscription expires unless it is renewed.

Compatibility and fit

Confirm your chartplotter supports Garmin Navionics+ or Garmin Navionics Vision+ and accepts the card type you plan to use. Feature availability can vary by chartplotter model, especially for routing functions and premium overlays, so it is worth checking your unit’s supported chart features before you buy.

Who it suits

This coverage makes sense for skippers running the Trondheim to Tromsø stretch who want current electronic chart detail for coastal passages, harbor approaches, and nearby inland waters shown within the region. It also fits anglers who rely on shaded depth views and tighter contour detail where it is available.
