Overview

The Garmin BlueChart g3 HXEU002R is an electronic navigation chart for the Dover to Amsterdam corridor and England Southeast, available either on a preprogrammed microSD/SD card or as a download depending on the option selected.

Coverage includes the British coast from Scarborough Harbour to Newhaven, including the River Thames up to London, plus the Continental coast from Amsterdam to Fecamp.

It’s intended for compatible Garmin chartplotters that support BlueChart g3 cartography, where features like Auto Guidance and depth shading can be used for route planning and shallow-water awareness.

Key features

• HXEU002R coverage for S/E UK and nearby continental waters, including Thames approaches and inland stretches up to London.
• Integrated Garmin and Navionics chart content for familiar navigation detail across coastal and harbor areas covered by the chart.
• Auto Guidance route suggestions based on user-entered depth and overhead clearance settings when used on compatible chartplotters.
• Depth Range Shading for up to 10 depth ranges, plus Shallow Water Shading at a user-set depth to help spot skinny water.
• Detailed contours with finer resolution available in many areas, which helps when following channels, edges, and structure.
• Offered as BlueChart g3 or BlueChart g3 Vision, and in SD card or download format.

Variants

This chart is offered in multiple configurations so you can match the chart level and delivery format to the way you run your Garmin system.

Options vary by BlueChart version (BlueChart g3 or BlueChart g3 Vision) and by format (preprogrammed SD card or downloadable chart content written to a microSD/SD card using Garmin software).

• 010-C0761-20: BlueChart g3, SD Card. Supplied on a preprogrammed card that you insert in the chartplotter for access to HXEU002R coverage.
• 010-D0347-00: BlueChart g3, Download. Delivered as a download that is installed to a microSD/SD card before use in a compatible chartplotter.
• 010-C0761-00: BlueChart g3 Vision, SD Card. Adds extra chart presentation layers such as 3D views and imagery where supported by the chart and your plotter.
• 010-D0396-00: BlueChart g3 Vision, Download. The Vision version delivered as a download for installation to a microSD/SD card before use.

Compatibility and fit

Confirm your Garmin chartplotter supports BlueChart g3 and has an SD or microSD card slot. The card stays with the unit while you’re using the chart, so plan for your available card slot if you also run software updates, user data, or other mapping.

If you plan to use a download format, you will need a suitable microSD/SD card for the chart install. Advanced features and layers depend on the chartplotter model and software, and handhelds or watches typically show basic chart detail rather than chartplotter-style features.

Installation and updates

For SD card versions, insert the chart card into the chartplotter and select the chart from the chart menu. For download versions, install the chart to a microSD/SD card using Garmin software, then insert that card into the chartplotter.

Chart updates are handled through Garmin update tools when available for your device and chart type. Keeping the plotter software current helps ensure chart features and layers display as expected.

Use cases on board

This chart makes sense for coastal cruising and passage planning between the English Channel approaches and the Dutch and Belgian side of the southern North Sea, plus runs that involve the Thames up to London. It’s also a practical pick when you want tighter depth awareness around banks, channels, and harbor entrances covered by HXEU002R.
