Overview

The Garmin BlueChart g3 Alborg to Amsterdam is an electronic chart region covering the run from Aalborg Bugt to Amsterdam, including Limfjorden, Hamburg, Bremen, and Emden.

This chart family includes route-planning tools like Auto Guidance (based on your entered depth and overhead clearance), Depth Range Shading for up to 10 depth ranges, and up to 1 ft contours to help you read bottom shape and tight harbor approaches. It is available either on a pre-programmed microSD/SD card or as a download that gets written to a microSD/SD card through Garmin Express.

Within this region, the standard BlueChart g3 version is labeled HXEU019R, and the BlueChart g3 Vision version is labeled VEU019R. Both are intended for use on compatible Garmin chartplotters, and Vision content requires a display that supports the additional Vision layers and views.

Compatibility and fit

This product is for compatible Garmin chartplotters that read BlueChart g3 cartography from a microSD/SD card. If you are running more than one display on a Garmin marine network, the chartplotter that holds the mapping card can share that chart data to other compatible networked units.

BlueChart g3 Vision features are not supported on every chartplotter. If your unit does not support Vision layers, the standard BlueChart g3 option is the safer match for this region.

Installation and setup

For the card format, installation is as simple as inserting the chart card into the chartplotter card slot and selecting the map layer on the unit.

For the download format, plan on using a computer with Garmin Express to write the chart to a microSD/SD card. Keep that card dedicated to this region, since only one chart can be installed per card.

Use cases on board

This region is a practical fit for skippers cruising or delivering between Denmark and the Netherlands, or making coastal and inland transits that pass through the approaches to Hamburg and Bremen. It is also a good match for boats that do frequent harbor work in the area and want tighter bottom detail and depth-focused shading on the plotter.
