Garmin BlueChart® g3 Vision® HD - VUS004R - New York - microSD™/SD™ Product Description
Explore the Northeast Coast with Confidence
Navigating the bustling waters from Providence to New York demands precision, especially when you're dodging busy harbors, threading through narrow channels, or hunting prime fishing spots along Long Island. This chart card delivers razor-sharp details for the entire region, covering Narragansett Bay's intricate bays, the full stretch of the Hudson River, New York Harbor's iconic skyline approaches, and coastal stretches to Perth Amboy and Brick Township. Boaters, anglers, and sailors rely on its seamless blend of Garmin's proven mapping with Navionics' extensive data for safer, smarter trips.
Whether you're planning a weekend sail around Long Island or a deep-sea run from the Hudson, these charts turn complex waterways into intuitive paths. High-definition visuals make spotting hazards or hotspots effortless, even in low light or rough conditions.
Standout Features for Real-World Boating
Auto Guidance: Your Smart Route Planner
Input your boat's draft and clearance needs, and Auto Guidance plots a tailored path around shallows and bridges. It's like having a local captain whisper directions—perfect for first-timers entering New York Harbor or threading the Hudson's twists. Remember, it's a planning tool to complement your vigilance on the water.
High-Resolution Relief Shading: See the Bottom Like Never Before
Forget flat lines; this shading layers color and shadow to reveal underwater contours vividly. Spot drop-offs near Long Island for trophy striped bass or navigate Narragansett Bay's rocky bottoms with clarity that rivals being underwater yourself.
Depth Range Shading and Shallow Water Alerts
Customize up to 10 depth bands to highlight your safe zones at a glance. Pair it with shallow water shading to flag no-go areas in marinas or along Jersey shores—crucial for protecting your hull during tidal swings.
Ultra-Fine 1-Foot Contours
Tight 1' intervals paint precise bottom profiles, ideal for skinny water in canals, swamps, or packed marinas like those in Brick Township. Anglers love how it pinpoints structure for jigging fluke or casting for blues.
Enhanced Views and Imagery
- Satellite and Aerial Photos: Crystal-clear overheads of ports, docks, and landmarks boost situational awareness—zoom into Perth Amboy ramps or Hudson bridges effortlessly.
- 3D Perspectives: MarinerEye offers above-water vistas; FishEye dives below for a fish-finder's dream view of wrecks and reefs.
- NOAA Raster Charts: Download paper-chart style via ActiveCaptain app for that classic feel on compatible devices.
