Overview

The Garmin BlueChart g3 HD Navigation Chart - HUS048R is a Bermuda coastal cartography package for compatible Garmin chartplotters, delivered either on a microSD/SD card or as a download. It combines Garmin and Navionics chart content and supports planning tools like Auto Guidance route suggestions (on compatible plotters) using your set depth and overhead clearance.

This chart region covers Bermuda and surrounding waters, including areas such as Saint George's Island and Harbour, Harrington Sound, Somerset Island, the Great and Little Sounds, Hamilton Island, and Castle Harbour. Depth Range Shading is available for up to 10 depth ranges, and detailed contours can be shown down to 1 foot where that detail is available in the local survey data.

Key features

• Bermuda-focused coverage for day-to-day navigation around the islands and approaches.
• Integrated Garmin and Navionics chart content for clear coastal detail.
• Auto Guidance route suggestions supported on compatible chartplotters when you enter depth and overhead clearance preferences.
• Depth Range Shading for up to 10 depth ranges to make target depths easier to spot at a glance.
• Displays up to 1-foot contours where available to help read bottom shape near reefs, channels, and anchorages.
• Available as physical media (microSD/SD) or as a downloadable format for plotters that are set up for chart downloads.

Variants

This Bermuda chart is offered in multiple configurations. The main differences are the chart version (BlueChart g3 vs BlueChart g3 Vision) and how you receive it (card vs download).

BlueChart g3 Vision adds extra presentation layers such as 3-D views and aerial photos on compatible chartplotters, with feature availability depending on the area and the device.

• 010-C1024-00: BlueChart g3 Vision, SD card. This version supports additional layers like 3-D views and aerial photos when your chartplotter and the chart area support them.

Compatibility and fit

Confirm your Garmin chartplotter supports BlueChart g3 cartography and has a microSD/SD card slot. For BlueChart g3 Vision versions, device compatibility is more limited, so it is worth checking that your specific plotter model supports Vision features before ordering.

Auto Guidance route suggestions depend on the chartplotter model and your settings. Treat any suggested route as a planning aid and verify it against local conditions, notices, and what you see on the water.

Installation and setup

For SD card versions, insert the card into the chartplotter and keep it installed whenever you want access to the chart data. For download versions, you will need Garmin Express to place the chart on a microSD/SD card for use in a registered chartplotter.

Plan on dedicating a card to this region, since only one chart product is installed per microSD/SD card. On boats that see vibration and spray at the helm, keep the card door closed and the card contacts clean and dry to avoid read errors.

Use on board

This chart is a good match for skippers who run Bermuda waters regularly, keep a boat in the islands seasonally, or want dedicated local coverage for a passage and the time spent exploring once you arrive. It is also helpful when you want tighter contour detail for fishing structure and for picking routes through marked channels and harbours.
