Overview

The Garmin NSEU043R is an electronic chart coverage region for compatible Garmin chartplotters, focused on Iceland and the North Atlantic route toward Orkney and northern Britain. It includes features like depth range shading with up to 10 depth ranges, shallow-water shading for a user-set depth, and chart detail that can display up to 1-foot contours where available.

Coverage includes Iceland, the Faroe Islands, the Shetland Islands, the Orkney Islands, the Isle of Lewis, and the northern tip of Britain, with key areas around ports such as Reykjavik and Akureyri, plus Torshavn, Lerwick, Stromness, Kirkwall, and Thurso.

This region is available as Garmin Navionics+ or Garmin Navionics Vision+, and each version comes either on microSD/SD media or as a download. A one-year subscription is included for daily chart updates and downloadable content through ActiveCaptain and Garmin Express.

Key features

Variants

This product is offered in multiple configurations, based on chart version and delivery format.

Navionics+ focuses on the core chart layers and navigation features for the region, while Navionics Vision+ adds premium visual layers such as relief shading and imagery where available. The microSD/SD options are preloaded media, and the download options are installed via Garmin Express to a micro/SD card for the registered chartplotter.

• 010-C1246-20: Garmin Navionics+ on microSD/SD. This is the plug-in media option, with updates and additional downloads available after subscription activation.
• 010-D1848-20: Garmin Navionics+ as a download. This installs with Garmin Express to a micro/SD card used in the registered chartplotter, and the chart stays on that card.
• 010-C1246-00: Garmin Navionics Vision+ on microSD/SD. This adds premium layers beyond Navionics+, including enhanced visual content that can be downloaded during the subscription period where available.
• 010-D1848-00: Garmin Navionics Vision+ as a download. This installs with Garmin Express to a micro/SD card, with premium layers available to download during the active subscription period where available.

Compatibility and setup

These charts are intended for compatible Garmin chartplotters that support the Garmin Navionics+ and Garmin Navionics Vision+ formats. For microSD/SD variants, the chart media is inserted into the chartplotter and remains in place for normal use. For download variants, Garmin Express installs the chart to a micro/SD card for use in a registered chartplotter, and a single card is used for a single chart region.

Updates and navigation notes

The included one-year subscription covers daily chart updates and access to downloadable content during the subscription period. Charts and features you download during that time remain available on the card after the subscription ends, but additional downloads stop unless the subscription is renewed. Auto Guidance+ is a planning aid and does not replace on-water judgment, local knowledge, or safe navigation practices.

Use cases on board

This chart region is a solid fit for skippers running coastal legs around Iceland and northern Scotland, crews transiting between island groups in the North Atlantic, and anglers who want depth shading and contour detail for working structure. It also makes sense for charter and delivery work where you want a single region that covers the common approaches and ports in this area.
