Garmin BlueChart® g3 Vision® HD - VUS029R - Southern Bahamas - microSD™/SD™ Product Description
Explore the Southern Bahamas with Confidence
Navigating the crystal-clear waters of the Southern Bahamas demands precision, especially around intricate island chains, shallow reefs, and bustling ports. This chart package delivers detailed mapping from Eleuthera Island southward to the Dominican Republic, capturing the essence of Great Exuma, Great Inagua, Mayaguana, and countless other Bahamian gems. It extends to full coastal outlines of Jamaica, Haiti, and the Dominican Republic, the eastern reaches of Cuba, and the Turks and Caicos Islands—sourced from trusted Explorer Charts for unmatched local insight.
Whether you're chasing bonefish in the flats, anchoring in hidden cays, or plotting a passage through the Caicos Passage, these charts blend cutting-edge tech with real-world reliability to keep you on course.
Standout Features for Smarter Navigation
Built on a fusion of Garmin's proprietary data and Navionics expertise, this package elevates your chartplotter experience beyond basic outlines.
- Auto Guidance1: Input your boat's draft and clearance needs, and it generates a smart route with visual waypoints—perfect for dodging shallows in Exuma Sound.
- High-Resolution Relief Shading: Shadows and color gradients reveal underwater topography, making it simpler to spot drop-offs or humps than traditional lines.
- Depth Range Shading: Customize up to 10 color-coded depth bands to instantly gauge safe zones for your vessel.
- 1-Foot Contours: Ultra-fine detailing shines in tight spots like marina channels or mangrove-lined creeks.
- Shallow Water Shading: Highlight hazards tailored to your hull, reducing guesswork in uncharted shallows.

- High-Resolution Satellite Imagery: Crisp overhead photos of marinas, bridges, and beacons for pinpoint docking in George Town or Cockburn Town.
- 3D Perspectives: MarinerEye offers an overhead flyover view, while FishEye dives below the surface—ideal for scouting wrecks or reefs around Great Inagua.
- NOAA Raster Cartography2: Download traditional paper-chart styling through the ActiveCaptain app for a familiar feel on compatible displays.
