Overview

The Garmin BlueChart g3 Vision HD VUS007R is a coastal electronic chart covering Newport News, VA to Charleston, SC, including Pamlico Sound, Cape Lookout, and Cape Romain. It adds depth range shading with up to 10 ranges and detailed 1 ft contours, plus 3D views and satellite imagery for ports and landmarks.

This chart is made for use on compatible Garmin chartplotters. Once installed, you can pan and zoom the coastline, follow charted aids to navigation, and use Auto Guidance to calculate a suggested route based on your preferred depth and overhead clearance.

Key features

• Coverage area: Newport News, VA to Charleston, SC, including Pamlico Sound, Cape Lookout, and Cape Romain
• Auto Guidance route suggestions using your desired depth and overhead clearance
• High-resolution relief shading to make bottom structure easier to read than contour lines alone
• Depth range shading with up to 10 ranges to highlight your target depth
• Up to 1 ft contours for closer bottom detail in channels, nearshore areas, and fishing structure
• Shallow water shading at a user-defined depth to help flag thin water on approach
• 3D MarinerEye and FishEye perspectives for an alternate view above and below the waterline
• High-resolution satellite imagery overlays for a more realistic view of many ports, marinas, bridges, and landmarks

Variants

This chart is offered in two formats so you can match the way you load maps on your boat.

The chart content and coverage area are the same across the options. The difference is how the mapping is delivered and installed.

• 010-C0708-00: Format microSD/SD. A preloaded card that you insert into a compatible chartplotter slot.
• 010-D0536-00: Format Download. Installed to a microSD/SD card using Garmin Express, and unlocked for one compatible device during the download and registration process.

Compatibility and fit

Confirm that your display supports BlueChart g3 Vision mapping and has an available microSD or SD card slot for cartography. If your helm uses more than one Garmin display over the Garmin Marine Network, the mapping can be viewed across the network when one unit has the mapping card inserted.

Installation and setup

For the microSD/SD card version, insert the card with the chartplotter powered off, then boot up and select the chart source in your chart settings if needed. For the download version, the map is written to a microSD/SD card with Garmin Express on a computer, then used in the chartplotter the same way as a preloaded card. Only one chart can be installed on a single microSD/SD card at a time.

Use on board

VUS007R is a good match for coastal cruisers and anglers running the Mid-Atlantic down through the South Carolina coast who want a chart that shows tight contour detail and adds 3D and satellite overlays for tricky entrances and unfamiliar marinas.
