Mediterranean Sea, Central and Western Areas - Marine Charts

This Garmin marine chart covers the Mediterranean Sea, specifically the Central and Western areas. It extends from L'Estartit in Spain to Crotone in Italy.

The mapping includes coastal regions of Spain, France (Corsica), Italy (Sardinia, Sicily), and the island of Malta, as well as other areas along the Mediterranean coast between L'Estartit and Crotone.

This chart also includes mapping for several lakes in northern Italy. These are Lake Geneva, Lake Maggiore, Lake Lugano, Lake Iseo, Lake Como and Lake Garda.

This nautical chart combines Garmin and Navionics® data to provide detailed mapping of coastal and inland waters.

The Auto Guidance+™ function automatically calculates a berth-to-berth route based on desired depth and air draft. It also alerts to potential obstructions. Note that this function is for planning only and does not replace safe navigation practices.

The Depth Range Shading function lets you select and display up to 10 different depth ranges. This makes it easier to quickly identify target areas, whether for navigation or fishing.

This chart provides detailed seabed contours down to 30 centimetres (1 foot). This level of detail allows for an accurate representation of the seabed structure, useful for fishing and exploration.

Yes, with its detailed seabed contours down to 30 centimeters (1 foot), this chart is very useful for fishing and exploration. It provides an accurate representation of seabed structure, shallows, channels, and harbors.

Yes, the description indicates that this chart provides an accurate representation of marshes, channels, and harbors, in addition to seabed details.

Garmin marine charts are typically supplied on a microSD™ card with an SD™ adapter, ready to use and insert into a compatible chartplotter.

This chart is designed to be used with compatible Garmin chartplotters. To verify exact compatibility with your device model, it is recommended to consult your chartplotter's user manual or Garmin's website.

No, Garmin marine charts are specifically designed to be used with Garmin devices and are generally not compatible with chartplotters from other brands.

No, once inserted into a compatible Garmin chartplotter, the marine chart is typically recognized and usable directly without requiring additional software installation on the device itself.

Yes, it is generally possible to view Garmin charts on a computer using free software such as Garmin HomePort™ or BaseCamp™. However, the chart is primarily intended for use on a compatible marine chartplotter.

To install the map, simply insert the microSD™ card into the dedicated slot on your Garmin chartplotter. Ensure the device is powered off before inserting or removing the card. Once the card is inserted and the device is powered on, the chart data should be available.

The main prerequisite is to have a Garmin chartplotter compatible with the microSD™ card format. It is also advisable to ensure that your chartplotter's internal software (firmware) is up to date to guarantee compatibility and optimal performance.

Specific update information for this chart is not provided in the product description. Garmin typically offers chart update programs for its marine charts, but conditions may vary.

Yes, as a detailed nautical chart, it includes essential navigation information such as aids to navigation (lighthouses, buoys), depth soundings, bathymetric contours, and coastal zone details.

This Garmin marine chart integrates several advanced features to facilitate navigation:

Auto Guidance+™ technology: This function automatically calculates a berth-to-berth route, taking into account desired depth and overhead clearance. It also alerts to potential obstructions along the route. It is important to note that this function is for planning purposes and does not replace safe navigation practices.

Depth Range Shading: You can select and display up to 10 different depth ranges. This helps quickly identify areas of interest or avoid shallow zones.

Detailed contours: The chart provides seabed contours with up to 30-centimeter (1-foot) precision. This detailed representation is particularly useful for fishing and exploring underwater structures.
