Overview

The Garmin VEU001R English Channel chart is an electronic chart region for compatible Garmin chartplotters, offered in BlueChart g3 Vision or BlueChart g3 and delivered by variant as a microSD/SD card or a download.

Coverage spans key UK and French Channel waters, including the British coast from Felixstowe to the Isles of Scilly (with areas like Dover, The Solent, and the Isle of Wight), the River Thames from Twickenham out to the North Sea, and the French coast from Dunkerque to L'Aber Wrac'h, including Rouen and the Channel Islands.

Depending on the chart version selected, available layers can include Auto Guidance route suggestions (based on your entered depth and overhead clearance), depth range shading (up to 10 ranges), shallow water shading at a user-defined depth, high-resolution satellite imagery overlays, 3-D perspectives (MarinerEye and FishEye), and 1-foot contours where available.

Variants

This chart region is offered in multiple configurations so you can match the chart version and delivery method to your setup.

Across the variants, the differences are the BlueChart version (g3 Vision vs g3) and the format (SD card vs download). Coverage remains the English Channel region referenced in this listing.

• 010-C0760-00: BlueChart g3 Vision, SD card. A plug-in chart card option for chartplotters that read charts from a memory card slot.
• 010-D0395-00: BlueChart g3 Vision, download. Delivered digitally so you can load the chart to compatible media for your chartplotter.
• 010-C0760-20: BlueChart g3, SD card. A chart card option when you prefer the BlueChart g3 chart package on removable media.

Coverage and content

This region is a practical fit for boats that regularly run the Dover Strait, The Solent, Isle of Wight approaches, the Channel Islands, and the nearshore routes along both UK and French coasts. It is also useful for planning tidal-water transits and harbor approaches where depth awareness matters.

Layer availability can vary by chart version and by the chartplotter you run, so it is worth confirming your unit supports the features you care about before you commit to a chart version.

Compatibility and setup

Confirm your chartplotter supports the BlueChart version you are buying (g3 Vision or g3) and that it has the right memory card slot type for your media (microSD or SD). For chart-card variants, the card typically stays in the plotter while you use the charts.

For download variants, plan on loading the chart to compatible removable media so the plotter can read it in the same way it reads a preloaded chart card.

On-board use

This region is a good match for coastal cruisers, sailing clubs, and fishing boats working the English Channel who want chart detail that helps with route planning and day-to-day navigation. If you spend time working structure, the finer contour detail available in the Vision package can make it easier to read bottom shape at a glance where that data exists.

Auto Guidance and visual layers are planning aids; keep normal seamanship practices in place, including verifying routes against conditions, local notices, and your own observations underway.
