Garmin BlueChart® g2 Vision® HD - VAW003R - Indian Subcontinent - microSD™/SD™ Product Description
Explore the Indian Subcontinent with Precision Nautical Mapping
Navigate the vibrant waters of the Indian Subcontinent confidently with this high-definition chart suite, spanning from Pasni in Pakistan to Sandoway in Myanmar. Dive into intricate details of key coastal hubs like Mangalore, Quilon, and Calcutta in India, while enjoying broad coverage across Sri Lanka, the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, the Chagos Archipelago, and the Maldives—complete with specialized focus on the Male Atoll. Whether you're charting a course for commercial shipping routes, leisurely coastal cruises, or prime fishing grounds, these maps deliver the clarity needed for safe, efficient voyages in one of the world's most dynamic maritime regions.
Crafted for mariners who demand accuracy, this collection blends official hydrographic data with proprietary enhancements, ensuring you have reliable spot soundings, navigational beacons, and contour lines at your fingertips. It's more than just charts—it's your virtual pilot for the Bay of Bengal, Arabian Sea, and beyond.
Advanced Features That Elevate Your On-Water Experience
- Garmin Auto Guidance Technology: Input your vessel's specs, select a waypoint, and get an intelligent, suggested path that factors in safe depths and obstacles—ideal for plotting efficient routes through busy straits or remote atolls.
- Depth Range Shading: Customize up to 10 shading levels to highlight your preferred fishing or sailing depths instantly, reducing guesswork in variable seabeds common around the Indian coastline.
- Ultra-Fine 1-Foot Contours: Unmatched bottom structure detail reveals hidden reefs, drop-offs, and channels, perfect for sportfishing in the Andamans or navigating narrow mangrove passages near Calcutta.
- Shallow Water Shading: Set your own shallow-depth threshold to visually flag hazards, a game-changer for low-tide operations off Sri Lanka's southern shores.
- Immersive 3D Perspectives: MarinerEye offers an underwater flyover view of the seafloor, while FishEye blends surface and subsurface in a panoramic 3D panorama—transforming how you spot wrecks or shoals in the Maldives.
- High-Res Satellite Imagery: Overlaid photos of ports, bridges, and landmarks provide real-world context, easing entry into unfamiliar harbors like Mangalore during monsoon swells.
These tools aren't just bells and whistles; they're proven to boost situational awareness, cut navigation time, and enhance safety in regions prone to strong currents and shifting sands.
Tailored for Indian Subcontinent Mariners and Anglers
For recreational boaters exploring Sri Lanka's pearl-diving coasts or commercial operators servicing Mumbai's massive port, these charts shine with port-plan precision and tide-current predictions. Anglers targeting snapper in the Chagos or tuna off the Nicobars benefit from FishEye's structure revelations, often uncovering spots missed by sonar alone.
In practice, users report smoother passages through the Gulf of Mannar, quicker marina docking in Male, and safer night runs along Pakistan's Makran Coast. Pair it with Garmin's ecosystem for seamless integration—zoom, pan, and overlay radar effortlessly on compatible plotters.
