Comprehensive Coverage Across Polynesian Paradise

This chart set spans the stunning coastlines of Tonga, Samoa, American Samoa, French Polynesia, Kiribati, and the Cook Islands. Zoom into intricate details for key destinations like Nuku'alofa in Tonga, Apia in Samoa, Pago Pago in American Samoa, and iconic spots such as Tahiti and Bora Bora. From bustling ports to secluded anchorages, every contour and aid is mapped with precision, sourced from official hydrographic data and proprietary surveys for unmatched reliability in these remote waters.

Standout Features for Superior Marine Navigation

• Auto Guidance Technology: Input your vessel's specs, and get an intelligent, suggested path to your waypoint—perfect for threading through Polynesia's coral-fringed reefs without guesswork.
• Depth Range Shading: Customize up to 10 shading levels to instantly spot safe depths, crucial when navigating variable seabeds around atolls and volcanic islands.
• Ultra-Fine 1-Foot Contours: Reveal the subtle underwater topography that general charts miss, enhancing fish-finding in lagoons and precise approaches to marinas.
• Shallow Water Shading: Set your own alert level to highlight hazards, a game-changer in the shallow passes of French Polynesia.

Immersive 3D Perspectives Above and Below the Surface

MarinerEye view immerses you in a photorealistic 3D flyover of the shoreline, while FishEye distorts the horizon for a forward-looking underwater scan. These tools transform flat charts into dynamic aids, helping you visualize drop-offs and structures vital for spearfishing or yacht maneuvering in Samoa's bays.

Real-World Overlays for Unrivaled Situational Awareness

Layer high-resolution satellite imagery over your charts to see ports, bridges, and landmarks as they truly appear—ideal for first-time entries into unfamiliar harbors like Pago Pago. Complement this with crystal-clear aerial photos of marinas and channels, reducing the intimidation of Polynesia's labyrinthine coastlines.

Why Polynesian Boaters Rely on These Charts

In regions where trade winds shift suddenly and currents swirl around island groups, precision matters. These charts include spot soundings, navigational aids, tides, currents, and port plans, empowering safer passages during peak cruising seasons. Anglers appreciate the bottom structure details for targeting snapper around Kiribati's reefs, while liveaboard sailors use the enhanced visuals for extended voyages across the Pacific. Compatible with leading Garmin chartplotters, they load seamlessly onto microSD or SD cards, ready for your next adventure.

• Enable satellite overlays for daylight anchoring in Bora Bora's crowded bays—spot the exact swing room at a glance.
