BlueChart® g3 chart HXEU008R Bay of Biscay

This Garmin BlueChart g3 marine chart specifically covers the Bay of Biscay. Coverage extends from Binic in France to Cabo Finisterre in Spain, including coastal and offshore areas of this region.

This chart offers several advanced features, including:

1-foot (30 cm) bathymetric contours for detailed representation of underwater structures.
The Auto Guidance technology which calculates a suggested route based on user-defined depth constraints and headroom under beams.
The Depth Range Shading allowing visualization of up to 10 depth ranges with high-resolution shading.
The Shallow Water Shading which highlights shallow areas at a user-defined depth, helping to avoid potential hazards.

Yes, this chartplotter mapping integrates Garmin and Navionics data. This combination ensures complete and reliable coverage of maritime areas.

This nautical chart is available in MicroSD/SD format. It is supplied on a preloaded MicroSD card with an SD adapter to facilitate use with different card readers.

This chart is compatible with recent and compatible Garmin chartplotters. This typically includes the GPSMAP and ECHOMAP series. To confirm compatibility with a specific model, consult your device’s user manual or Garmin’s compatibility list on their website.

No, this Garmin BlueChart g3 marine chart card is specifically designed to be used with Garmin chartplotters. It is not compatible with devices from other manufacturers.

No, once the map is installed in your Garmin chartplotter, no internet connection is required to use it. All chart data is stored directly on the MicroSD/SD card.

The chart provides highly accurate bathymetric contours, with a detail of one foot (approximately 30 centimeters). This allows for a very fine visualization of underwater structures and depth changes.

The Auto Guidance function calculates a suggested route for your boat. It takes into account the depth and headroom constraints you have defined, helping you navigate safely by avoiding obstacles and shallow areas.

The Depth Range Shading feature allows you to visualize up to 10 different depth ranges with high-resolution shading. This makes it easy to quickly identify target areas, such as fishing zones or safe passages, at a glance.

Shallow Water Shading highlights shallow areas on the chart. You can set the depth threshold for these alerts, helping you avoid potential hazards and navigate safely.

Yes, thanks to Garmin and Navionics data integration and the accuracy of its charting, this chart provides complete and reliable coverage, suitable for both coastal navigation and offshore navigation in the Bay of Biscay.

In addition to depths and contours, the BlueChart g3 chart includes essential navigation information such as aids to navigation (buoys, beacons), wrecks, obstacles, regulated areas, ports and marinas, as well as coastal details.

Yes, the marine chart is provided on a MicroSD card and typically includes an adapter for standard SD cards, making it compatible with most SD card readers.

No, the chart is preloaded and ready to use. Once inserted into a compatible Garmin chartplotter, it does not require activation or online registration to function.

Your Garmin chartplotter must be compatible with BlueChart g3 charts and have a MicroSD/SD card reader. It is also recommended to ensure that your device's internal software (firmware) is up to date to guarantee optimal performance and compatibility.

Yes, Garmin BlueChart g3 charts generally include tide and current data for covered areas, providing essential information for navigation planning.

Yes, like most Garmin products, this marine chartplotter comes with a manufacturer's warranty. Specific warranty details are provided by Garmin.
