Discover Precision Navigation for Scandinavian Waters

Navigating the intricate fjords, bustling ports, and open coastal stretches from Oslo to Haugesund demands charts that deliver razor-sharp detail and smart guidance. This Garmin BlueChart g3 HD edition zeroes in on the vibrant maritime region spanning HXEU041R, blending Garmin's proven mapping expertise with Navionics integration for boaters who refuse to settle for less. Whether you're charting a course through the Skagerrak's challenging currents or exploring inland waterways around Kristiansand and Drammen, these charts transform your chartplotter into a reliable command center.

Picture this: You're approaching the northern tip of Denmark near Skagen, where shifting sands and strong tides test even seasoned skippers. With high-definition visuals and intelligent routing, you gain the edge to plan confidently, spot hazards early, and focus on the thrill of the voyage.

Expansive Coverage Tailored to Nordic Coasts

This chart package envelops the Norwegian and Swedish shorelines from Flekkefjord northward, capturing key hubs like Skien, Halden, and the iconic Oslofjord. It stretches across the Skagerrak to Haugesund, incorporating Sweden's Göteborg area and Denmark's Laeso island, Frederikshavn, and Skagen. Inland routes and coastal passages receive equal attention, ensuring seamless transitions from open sea to sheltered marinas.

• Coastal outlines with lifelike clarity for safe approaches
• Detailed port plans for Oslo, Kristiansand, and beyond
• Inland waterway mappings for rivers, canals, and lakes
• Comprehensive island and reef depictions around Laeso and Swedish archipelagos

Boaters praise this coverage for its ability to reveal hidden gems—think prime fishing spots off Haugesund or quiet anchorages near Drammen—while keeping commercial traffic lanes and weather-influenced zones in sharp focus.

Advanced Features That Elevate Your Boating Experience

Go beyond basic mapping with tools designed for real-world challenges in these dynamic waters.

Auto Guidance: Your Smart Route Planner

Input your boat's draft and overhead clearance, and watch as it computes an optimized path overlaid directly on the chart. Ideal for threading through the narrow passages of the Oslofjord or dodging shallows in the Skagerrak, this feature streamlines trip planning without guesswork—always remembering it's a planning aid, not a substitute for vigilant seamanship.

Depth Range Shading: Visualize at a Glance

Customize up to 10 shading layers to highlight your target depths. Spot deep-water channels for trawling or shallow zones to skirt near Swedish coasts, making split-second decisions intuitive even in low light.

Ultra-Detailed Contours and Shallow Water Highlights

One-foot contours paint a vivid picture of underwater topography, perfect for anglers targeting structure in marinas or swamps. Pair it with user-defined shallow water shading to illuminate no-go areas, enhancing safety during tidal shifts common in this region.

Bonus Raster Views via ActiveCaptain

Unlock paper-chart-style NOAA raster overlays for surveyed zones, complete with lat/long labels on points of interest. It's like carrying a traditional chart library in your pocket, accessible through the app for on-the-go updates.

Why Boaters in Norway, Sweden, and Denmark Rely on These Charts

Fishermen haul bigger catches by pinpointing bottom features with precision contours. Sailors weave through archipelagos effortlessly, thanks to shaded depths and guided routes. Powerboaters dash between ports like Frederikshavn and Haugesund with newfound confidence. This isn't just data—it's the difference between a good day on the water and an unforgettable one. Stored conveniently on microSD or SD cards, it slots into compatible Garmin chartplotters for instant access.
