This product combines Garmin and Navionics® content for comprehensive coverage and clarity, extending from Binic, France, to Cabo Finisterre, Spain.
Advanced navigation features
The chart integrates Auto Guidance technology, which quickly calculates a suggested route based on user-defined depth and air clearance while highlighting nearby obstructions.

Integration of aerial photographs provides details on numerous ports, harbors, and marinas.

It also includes high-resolution bathymetric shading, combining colors and shadows for simplified seabed profile interpretation, aiding in locating artificial reefs and other features (free download via ActiveCaptain app).
