Overview

The Garmin BlueChart g3 Vision HD VUS034R is an electronic coastal chart covering the Aleutian Islands, from Attu Island to Cold Bay, offered in microSD/SD card or download format. It layers detailed shoreline and navigation data with bottom detail, including up to 1-foot contours in supported areas and depth range shading with up to 10 selectable ranges for faster depth awareness.

This chart adds visual tools that help when you are running unfamiliar water or picking your way into ports and marinas. Auto Guidance uses the depth and overhead clearance you enter to calculate a suggested route, and relief shading helps bottom structure read more clearly on-screen. Satellite imagery and 3-D views (MarinerEye and FishEye) give extra context around landmarks, approaches, and fishing structure when those layers are enabled on your system.

Key features

• Aleutian Islands coverage for region VUS034R, spanning Attu Island to Cold Bay
• Integrated Garmin and Navionics data presentation for chart detail and readability
• Auto Guidance route suggestions based on your entered depth and overhead clearance
• Depth range shading for up to 10 depth bands to highlight target depths
• High-resolution relief shading to make bottom structure easier to interpret
• Up to 1-foot contours where available for tighter fishing and nearshore navigation detail
• Extra viewing layers such as NOAA raster cartography, satellite imagery, and 3-D MarinerEye and FishEye views

Variants

This chart is offered in multiple configurations so you can match how you load charts on your Garmin system.

The difference between these options is the delivery format (card versus download). Coverage and chart content are tied to the VUS034R Aleutian Islands region.

• 010-C0735-00: Format microSD/SD. Supplied on a memory card for chartplotters that read microSD or SD media, which can be convenient when moving the card between compatible units.
• 010-D0491-00: Format Download. Delivered electronically so the chart can be loaded using Garmin’s download process on a compatible setup, without needing a preloaded card shipment.

Compatibility and fit

Confirm that your chartplotter supports BlueChart g3 Vision HD charts and that VUS034R is the correct region for your cruising area. If you are ordering the microSD/SD version, verify the card type and slot size your unit accepts. Display layers such as 3-D views, satellite imagery, raster charts, and route guidance can depend on chartplotter model and settings, so it helps to check how your unit handles Vision chart features before you head out.

Installation and setup

For the card version, insert the microSD or SD card into the chartplotter’s chart slot and select the chart layer from your chart menu as needed. For the download version, follow the prompts in your Garmin ecosystem to load the chart to the supported storage your system uses, then confirm the chart is visible in the chart selection menu before departure.

Use on board

This chart is a strong fit for skippers running coastal legs through the Aleutians, anglers working structure where contour detail matters, and crews that want extra visual context when approaching harbors. Depth shading and relief shading are especially helpful when you are scanning for safer water, tracking a target depth band, or comparing bottom changes along an intended track.

Maintenance and care

Keep memory cards clean and dry, and store them in a protective case when not in use. On board, avoid removing the card while the chartplotter is actively reading chart data, and make sure your chartplotter software and chart display settings are up to date so the available layers render as expected.
