Overview

The Garmin Navionics Vision+ NVEU075R is an electronic chart region for Ireland's west coast that loads on compatible Garmin chartplotters, with coverage that runs from Cork to Belfast and includes key inland waterways such as the Shannon and Shannon-Erne, plus areas like Galway Bay and Lough Neagh.

It is sold with a one-year subscription that unlocks daily chart updates and downloadable content during that term, so you can keep the plotter current as buoyage, marina details, and chart notes change through the season.

Vision+ adds extra visual layers on supported displays, including relief shading, satellite imagery, aerial photos, and 3D views, while the Navionics+ version keeps the same region focus with the core chart layers and routing and shading tools.

Key features

• Region coverage for Ireland's north and west coasts from Cork to Belfast, including the Shannon Inland and Shannon-Erne Waterways, Galway Bay, and Lough Neagh, plus the southwestern Scottish coast from Colonsay to Campbeltown
• One-year subscription with access to daily updates and additional content downloads during the subscription period
• Auto Guidance+ route suggestions that use your selected safe depth and overhead clearance settings as a planning aid
• Depth range shading with up to 10 selectable ranges, plus shallow water shading to help you call out areas you want to avoid
• Garmin Navionics Vision+ adds premium visual layers such as high-resolution relief shading, satellite imagery, aerial photos, sonar imagery, Side Scan images, and 3D MarinerEye and FishEye views where supported
• Available either on microSD/SD media or as a computer download (format depends on the variant)
• Garmin Navionics+ and Garmin Navionics Vision+ chart products are for compatible Garmin devices, not for non-Garmin chartplotters

Variants

This chart region is offered in multiple configurations so you can match the content level and the way you want to load it to your system.

What changes between variants is the chart package (Garmin Navionics+ versus Garmin Navionics Vision+) and the delivery format (microSD/SD card versus download via Garmin Express). The Ireland, West Coast region code is NVEU075R for Vision+ and NSEU075R for Navionics+.

• 010-C1233-00: Garmin Navionics Vision+ (NVEU075R), microSD/SD. This option is a preloaded card that can be inserted directly into a compatible chartplotter and then updated during the included subscription.
• 010-D1835-00: Garmin Navionics Vision+ (NVEU075R), download. This option is delivered through Garmin Express on a computer for initial download and loading before you use it on the boat.

Compatibility and fit

These Garmin-branded Navionics chart products are made for compatible Garmin chartplotters. Before ordering, confirm your display supports Garmin Navionics+ or Garmin Navionics Vision+ and that you have the correct card slot if you are choosing the microSD/SD version.

If your navigation system is a different brand, this Garmin Navionics card format will not read on that plotter, even if the coverage area is the right one.

Installation and updates

For card variants, insert the microSD/SD card into the chartplotter and select the chart source in your mapping page. Registering the chart subscription and pulling daily updates is handled through the ActiveCaptain app on a compatible setup, so it is worth doing before you leave the dock on a trip into new waters.

For download variants, use Garmin Express on a Windows or Mac computer to download and load the charts, then follow your device prompts for activation and updates. Once the subscription is active, charts and any extra content you download during the year remain available on your device after the term ends.

Use on board

This region is a good fit for skippers running Garmin GPSMAP or ECHOMAP displays who cruise, fish, or make regular coastal passages along Ireland's west coast and want the ability to keep chart data current. Vision+ is the version that includes photo overlays and 3D perspectives that help when entering unfamiliar harbors or picking out shoreline references.

As with any electronic charting, treat suggested routes and shaded depth tools as planning aids and keep standard lookout and local knowledge in the loop when conditions change.
