Garmin BlueChart® g3 Vision® HD - VEU465S - The Solent & Channel Islands - microSD™/SD™ Product Description
Navigate the intricate waters of The Solent and Channel Islands with confidence using the Garmin BlueChart g3 Vision HD VEU465S charts. Designed for serious boaters, sailors, and anglers who demand precision in one of Europe's busiest and most dynamic coastal regions, these charts blend cutting-edge Garmin technology with Navionics data for unmatched detail and usability.
Detailed Coverage Tailored for Solent and Channel Islands Boaters
The VEU465S edition spans the British coastline from Newhaven to Portland Harbour, encompassing the iconic Solent, Isle of Wight, and surrounding areas. On the French side, it covers from Arromanches-Les-Bains to Saint-Brieuc, including key spots like Saint-Vaast-la-Hougue, Cherbourg, Saint-Malo, and the stunning Channel Islands. This focused coverage is perfect for weekend cruisers dodging ferries in the Solent's shipping lanes, racing enthusiasts plotting optimal paths around the Isle of Wight, or explorers venturing to Jersey and Guernsey's rugged shores.
What sets these charts apart is their hyper-local accuracy, capturing narrow channels, shifting sandbanks, and tidal hotspots that define this region. Whether you're plotting a passage through the Needles or anchoring off Alderney, you'll appreciate the clarity that helps you avoid common pitfalls like overfalls near the Casquets.
Core Navigation Features That Elevate Your On-Water Experience
- Integrated Garmin and Navionics Precision: Seamlessly combines high-definition coastal charts from both sources for superior coverage, clarity, and detail—ideal for the Solent's complex buoyage and Channel Islands' rocky approaches.
- Auto Guidance Technology: Input your boat's draft and clearance preferences, and it instantly generates a suggested route, factoring in safe depths and obstacles. A game-changer for threading through the Solent's dense traffic or navigating the Little Russel between Herm and Guernsey.
- Depth Range Shading: Visualize up to 10 customizable depth bands at a glance, helping you spot prime fishing grounds off the Isle of Wight or safe anchorages in St. Helier Bay.
- Ultra-Fine 1-Foot Contours: Reveals subtle bottom structures for better fish targeting in the shallow bays around Portsmouth or detailed port plans in St. Peter Port.
- Shallow Water Shading: User-defined shading highlights hazards, crucial for the drying heights and ebb currents prevalent in this tidal powerhouse region.
Immersive 3D Views and Imagery for Real-World Situations
Elevate situational awareness with premium visualization tools:
- High-Resolution Satellite Imagery: Overlay crisp satellite photos on charts for a bird's-eye reality check—spot beach details at Ryde or marina layouts in Cherbourg before you arrive.
- FishEye View: Dive beneath the surface with a 3D underwater perspective of contours and structure, syncing with your sonar for live fish-finding sessions in the Western Approaches.
- MarinerEye View: A photorealistic 3D cross-section above and below the waterline, perfect for visualizing cliffs at Les Écrehous or headlands near Bembridge.
- Crystal-Clear Aerial Photography: High-detail overhead images of ports, harbors, and marinas make first-time entries—like into St. Malo or Yarmouth—far less intimidating.
These aren't just gimmicks; they're practical tools that reduce stress in high-stakes areas like the Race off Alderney, where visibility can drop quickly.
Why Solent and Channel Islands Boaters Choose These Charts
In a region notorious for its 6-knot spring tides, yacht races, and cross-Channel ferries, reliable charts are non-negotiable.

Anglers love the contour precision for wrecks off the Nab Tower; cruisers rave about satellite overlays for scenic route planning; racers depend on Auto Guidance for split-second decisions.
Backed by Garmin's reputation for rugged marine tech, these charts empower safer, more enjoyable outings. Pair them with your sounder for a full-picture system that turns challenging waters into your playground.
