BlueChart® g3 HXEU009R - Portugalsko a severozápadní Španělsko

The Garmin BlueChart G3 HXEU009R chart is a digital marine chart designed for coastal navigation. It combines Garmin and Navionics data to provide a high level of detail and clarity for covered maritime areas.

This chart covers the entire coast of Portugal and the northwest of Spain. More precisely, it extends from Gijón to Cádiz and Seville, including the coasts and navigable inland waters of these regions.

The BlueChart G3 integrates several advanced features for navigation:

Detailed bathymetric contours down to 30 cm (1 foot).Auto Guidance technology for suggested route calculation.Depth Range Shading to display up to 10 depth ranges.Shallow Water Shading to set an alert depth.Detailed information on ports, marinas, and navigation aids.

The Auto Guidance function is a technology that calculates a suggested route based on the desired depth and air draft for your vessel. It is designed to simplify route planning. It is important to note that this function is a planning aid and does not replace safe navigation practices and the navigator's vigilance.

The Depth Range Shading feature allows you to display up to 10 different depth ranges in high resolution on your screen. You can customize these ranges to highlight specific depths, which is useful for fishing or navigating in complex areas.

The Shallow Water Shading feature lets you set a specific depth. Areas with water depth below this threshold will be shaded on the chart, visually alerting you to potentially hazardous or too-shallow zones for your vessel.

This chart provides highly detailed bathymetric contours, with intervals down to 30 centimetres (1 foot). This level of precision allows for fine representation of underwater structures, seabeds, and reliefs, which is particularly useful for fishing or navigation in complex areas such as estuaries and harbors.
