Compatibility and setup

These charts are built for compatible Garmin chartplotters, so it is worth checking your exact model before purchase. For card versions, confirm whether your unit uses a microSD or full-size SD chart slot. For download versions, plan on using a computer with Garmin Express to retrieve the charts and manage updates.

To keep the charts current, pair your chartplotter with the ActiveCaptain app and activate the included one-year subscription. Once the subscription ends, the charts and any content downloaded during that period remain available, but you will not be able to download additional updates or new content unless you renew.

On-the-water use

This coverage is a strong match for skippers running the Atlantic side of the Iberian Peninsula, from coastal cruising to port-hopping passages, and for anglers who like to work a specific depth band. Auto Guidance+ can speed up route planning, but it is still a planning aid, so the suggested path should always be reviewed against conditions, local notices, and good seamanship.
