Overview

The Garmin VEU722L is a BlueChart g3 Vision electronic chart for the Europe Atlantic Coast region, built for use on compatible Garmin chartplotters. Coverage spans the Atlantic and Mediterranean coasts of Western Europe, the British Isles, and northwestern Africa, including key island groups such as the Azores, Canary Islands, Balearic Islands, Channel Islands, and Shetland Islands.

This chart includes integrated Garmin and Navionics mapping content, plus route suggestions using Auto Guidance based on the depth and overhead clearance you enter. For bottom detail, it supports depth range shading with up to 10 depth ranges and contour detail down to 1 ft (30 cm) where available in the covered area.

Because it is a Vision chart, it also adds presentation layers like 3D views and aerial photography on supported plotters, which can be useful when you are approaching unfamiliar harbors, river mouths, or tight marina fairways.

Key features

• Region coverage for the Europe Atlantic Coast area, including Atlantic and Mediterranean coasts of Western Europe, the British Isles, and northwestern Africa
• Integrated Garmin and Navionics chart content for coastal navigation detail
• Auto Guidance route suggestions using user-entered depth and overhead clearance
• Depth range shading with up to 10 depth ranges to help you keep your preferred water under the keel in view
• Bottom contours down to 1 ft (30 cm) where chart data supports it
• Shallow water shading at a user-defined depth for quicker visual risk checks
• Vision layers such as 3D chart views and aerial photos on compatible chartplotters

Variants

This chart is offered in two formats to match how you prefer to load cartography to your helm.

The coverage area and chart content are the same. The difference is the delivery method: a physical microSD/SD card, or a downloadable version that you load onto an SD card using Garmin Express.

• 010-C1156-00 (Format: microSD/SD). This version is ready to insert into a compatible chartplotter card slot for quick setup at the boat.
• 010-D1606-00 (Format: Download). This version is downloaded with Garmin Express and then placed onto an SD card for use in a compatible chartplotter.

Compatibility and fit

This is marine cartography for Garmin chartplotters that support BlueChart g3 Vision. Chart features such as Auto Guidance, shading layers, and 3D or photo overlays depend on the chartplotter model and the settings you enable, so it is worth checking that your unit supports Vision features and has an available card slot.

Installation and setup

For the microSD/SD version, insert the card into the chartplotter card slot and allow the unit to index the chart. For the download version, use Garmin Express to download the chart and write it to an SD card, then insert that card into the chartplotter.

On first use, take a moment to set up depth range shading, shallow water shading, and Auto Guidance preferences to match your draft, typical tide margins, and the overhead clearances you want the route suggestions to respect.

Use cases on board

This chart is a good fit for skippers running coastlines with frequent harbor entries, fishing crews that benefit from tighter contour detail, and cruisers planning longer hops along Atlantic and western Mediterranean approaches. The shading layers help with quick depth awareness, while the Vision views can make close-in piloting easier when you are matching what you see outside to the chartplotter display.
