Garmin BlueChart® g3 HD - HXEU050R - Aland to Vybord - microSD™/SD™ Product Description
Detailed Nautical Coverage for the Baltic Seas
Navigate the intricate waters of the Gulf of Finland and Gulf of Riga with confidence using this specialized chart card. Spanning from the Åland Islands to Vyborg, it delivers high-definition mapping of key coastal areas, including bustling ports in Turku, Helsinki, and Kotka in Finland, as well as Tallinn and Kohtla-Järve in Estonia. Whether you're planning a coastal cruise, fishing expedition, or commercial passage, these charts highlight channels, hazards, and landmarks with precision that rivals professional surveys.
Ideal for sailors exploring the Baltic region's archipelagos, this coverage extends into shallow bays and narrow straits, helping you avoid unseen obstacles while maximizing your time on the water. Mariners appreciate how it captures the unique topography of these northern European waters, from rocky outcrops to sandy shallows.
Advanced Navigation Tools Built In
Go beyond basic mapping with smart features designed for real-world boating challenges. The integrated Auto Guidance system analyzes your boat's draft and overhead clearance to plot safe, efficient routes—perfect for threading through the Gulf's crowded shipping lanes or dodging seasonal ice hazards.
- Depth Range Shading: Customize up to 10 shading levels to instantly spot your ideal fishing depths or safe anchoring zones, saving precious seconds during critical maneuvers.
- Ultra-Fine Contours: One-foot intervals reveal subtle bottom structures, enhancing spot-on fishing in weedy swamps or precise docking in marinas.
- Shallow Water Highlighting: Set your own depth threshold to visually flag risky shallows, a game-changer in the variable tides of the Baltic.
- Enhanced Cartography: Fusion of high-res Garmin data and proven Navionics layers ensures clarity in fog or low light, with raster-style views for traditionalists.
These tools transform your chartplotter into a proactive navigation partner, reducing stress and boosting safety on every outing.
Why Boaters Rely on These Charts
For weekend sailors hopping between Finnish islands or commercial operators shuttling between Helsinki and Tallinn, this chart card stands out by blending cutting-edge tech with practical insights. Fishermen target prime spots near Kotka's reefs with contour precision, while yacht owners glide through Riga Gulf's traffic using guided paths that account for ferries and wind farms.
Its plug-and-play design on microSD/SD means seamless updates via compatible apps, keeping your data fresh without downtime. Experienced captains note how the shading features cut planning time in half, letting you focus on the journey rather than the chartbook.
"Switching to these HD charts made navigating the Åland Sea feel intuitive—like having a local pilot on board." – Baltic mariner testimonial
Seamless Integration with Your Gear
Engineered for Garmin chartplotters, this card slots right into your setup, unlocking full potential on devices from compact multifunction displays to helm stations. Pair it with sonar for hybrid views that overlay live fish returns on detailed bathymetry, or use it standalone for paper-free passage planning.
Pro tip: Before heading out, verify your plotter's firmware for optimal rendering—many users report sharper zoom levels post-update, especially in Estonia's cluttered harbors.
Tips for Maximizing Your Charts on the Water
Customize shallow shading to 5 feet for the Gulf of Finland's rock-strewn approaches, or dial in 20-foot ranges for deeper Riga trawling grounds. Combine with weather overlays for wind-driven current predictions, and always cross-check Auto Guidance paths with VHF advisories in high-traffic zones like the Helsinki-Tallinn ferry route.
For ice-season prep, leverage contour data to scout early thaws around Vyborg. Regular users swear by exporting routes to mobiles for pre-trip reviews, ensuring everyone's aligned dockside.
