Garmin BlueChart® g3 Vision® HD - VUS026R - Wrangell/Juneau/Sitka - microSD™/SD™ Product Description
Navigating the intricate waterways of Southeast Alaska demands charts that deliver precision and confidence. The BlueChart g3 Vision HD VUS026R brings together cutting-edge Garmin and Navionics data to illuminate every twist and turn from Wrangell through Glacier Bay, Sitka, and Juneau. Whether you're plotting a course past rugged islands, dodging shallow reefs, or anchoring in hidden coves, these charts transform your chartplotter into a reliable partner for safe, efficient voyages.
Exceptional Coverage for Alaska's Coastal Challenges
This chart set zeroes in on one of the most dramatic stretches of North American coastline. Expect detailed mapping from Wrangell Narrows—infamous for its tight passages—to the icy expanses of Glacier Bay, the vibrant harbors of Sitka, and the bustling ports around Juneau. Channels, buoys, hazards, and marinas appear with crystal clarity, updated to reflect the latest surveys. It's tailored for boaters who thrive in Alaska's fjords, where tides swing wildly and weather shifts fast.
Auto Guidance: Your Smart Pathfinding Ally
Imagine entering your boat's draft, desired depth, and overhead clearance, then watching as the system crunches the data to suggest an optimal route. Auto Guidance plots a braked-line path around obstacles, helping you sidestep shallows and bridges without constant manual adjustments. Perfect for threading through narrow straits or multi-leg trips, it streamlines planning while keeping you focused on the helm.
Visual Depth and Detail That Bring the Seabed to Life
- High-Resolution Relief Shading: Shadows and color gradients reveal underwater topography like never before, making drop-offs, ridges, and basins pop for intuitive reading—far superior to flat contours.
- Depth Range Shading: Customize up to 10 color-coded bands to spot your ideal fishing or cruising depths instantly, from deep offshore to inshore shallows.
- 1-Foot Contours: Ultra-fine lines map bottom structure with pinpoint accuracy, ideal for targeting structure in marinas, swamps, or canal systems.
- Shallow Water Shading: Set your own threshold to highlight no-go zones, preventing surprises in unfamiliar anchorages.
Satellite Imagery and 3D Perspectives for Total Awareness
Overlay high-res satellite photos on your charts for a bird's-eye reality check—spot docks, ramps, and landmarks from afar. Dive deeper with innovative 3D views:
- FishEye View: A submerged vantage point showing contours and structure as if you're swimming beneath the hull, prime for spotting fish-holding features.
- MarinerEye View: Blend above- and below-water details in a forward-looking 3D panorama, mimicking what you'd see from the bridge.
For traditionalists, optional NOAA raster charts mimic paper maps, downloadable via companion apps for a nostalgic yet practical overlay.
Seamless Integration on SD/microSD
Slip the card into your compatible Garmin chartplotter and unlock these features instantly. No fuss, no subscriptions—just plug-and-play enhancement for your existing setup. It's built for real-world reliability, standing up to saltwater exposure and constant use.
Why Boaters in Wrangell, Juneau, and Sitka Swear By It
In regions like this, where glacial silt clouds sonar and fog rolls in unpredictably, superior charts aren't optional—they're essential. Anglers use the fine contours to hunt halibut hotspots; cruisers rely on shaded relief for confident passages; kayakers appreciate the marina details for overnight stops. Elevate your adventures with visuals that match the wild beauty of Alaska's Inside Passage.
