Overview

The Garmin 010-C1169-00 is a Standard Mapping Premium electronic chart card for Louisiana Central, delivered on microSD/SD media for compatible Garmin chartplotters. It overlays high-resolution coastal aerial imagery with local names for waterways and land features, which helps you line up what you see on the screen with what is around the boat.

Premium content adds clear references for offshore and inshore planning: offshore field lease blocks are shown with red outlines and white labels, and Offshore Lease Areas and Wildlife Management Areas are marked on the chart. Recommended routes appear as yellow lines, which can be useful when you are running through marsh cuts and man-made canals where the cleanest path is not always obvious.

Key features

• Louisiana Central coverage on Standard Mapping Premium chart media for compatible Garmin chartplotters with a chart card slot
• Coastal aerial overlay with high-resolution imagery plus local waterway and land feature names
• Offshore field lease blocks shown with red outlines and white labels
• Recommended routes displayed as yellow lines for navigating marsh and canal networks
• Wildlife Management Areas outlined in green, with Offshore Lease Areas also shown on the chart

Compatibility and fit

This is chart data on removable media, so the key fit check is your chartplotter. You need a compatible Garmin marine chartplotter that supports Standard Mapping charts and accepts a microSD or SD chart card. If your unit uses a full-size SD slot, use a microSD-to-SD adapter; if it has a microSD slot, insert the card directly.

There is no wiring and no network setup for the card itself. Your boat's 12 V or 24 V system matters only for powering the chartplotter.

Installation and setup

Power the chartplotter off, insert the card, then restart and select the chart source. On supported Garmin GPSMAP and ECHOMAP chartplotters, the aerial overlay is managed through the Photo Map options. Photo Map shows photos on both land and water with an opacity slider, while Land Only keeps photos on land and leaves standard chart data on the water.

If you do not see the Standard Mapping imagery, confirm the Photo Map setting is enabled and that the card is fully seated in the slot.

Use cases on board

This card is a good match for boats running Louisiana's central coast where marsh navigation, shallow cuts, and fast-changing shorelines make visual reference valuable. It also helps on offshore runs when you want field lease blocks and lease area outlines visible alongside your chart.

Care and handling

Keep the card contacts clean and dry, and store the card in its case when it is not in the plotter. Avoid removing the card while the chartplotter is updating or writing data, and do not force the card into the slot.
