These charts go beyond basic mapping, blending official hydrographic data with cutting-edge Garmin innovations to handle New Zealand's diverse conditions—from shallow reefs near the Poor Knights Islands to deeper offshore trenches.

- Smart Auto Guidance: Input your vessel's specs, and get instant, optimized routes that factor in no-go zones, making long hauls from North Cape to Wellington's northern reaches effortless.
- Immersive 3D Perspectives: Switch to MarinerEye for a hull-height view of the seafloor or FishEye for a panoramic above-and-below-water scene, ideal for anchoring in spots like the Bay of Islands.
- Satellite Overlay and Aerial Views: Overlay crisp satellite imagery on charts for real-world context, plus detailed aerial photos of marinas from Opua to Picton, easing entries into unfamiliar ports during low light or fog.
Perfect for Every Type of Boater in New Zealand
Fishing Enthusiasts: Pinpoint structure with hyper-detailed bathymetry, targeting snapper hotspots off Ninety Mile Beach or kingfish around the Cavalli Islands.
Cruisers and Sailors: Plan multi-day voyages with tide, current data, and shaded depths to navigate tricky straits like Cook Strait's northern approaches.
Weekend Warriors: Aerial photography simplifies docking at popular spots like Russell or Abel Tasman marinas, even if you're new to the area.
