Exceptional Coverage Tailored for Norwegian Waters

Spanning from Sognefjorden northward to Afjord, this chart set provides intricate coverage of Norway's west coast. Expect detailed hydrography for key ports, inlets, and passages, including the bustling hubs of Alesund and Trondheim. Mariners appreciate the focus on fjord-specific nuances, such as steep drop-offs and tidal influences, which are critical for safe passage in these iconic yet unforgiving seascapes.

Local boaters often praise the charts for their fidelity to real-world conditions, helping avoid common pitfalls like unmarked shoals or shifting sandbars. It's not just about getting from point A to B—it's about discovering secluded spots and maximizing every outing with reliable, up-to-date intel.

Advanced Features That Elevate Your Boating Experience

• Auto Guidance Technology: Input your boat's draft and bridge clearances, and it generates a suggested route overlaid on your chart. Perfect for plotting efficient paths through fjord mazes without manual trial-and-error.
• Depth Range Shading: Customize up to 10 shading levels to instantly spot your ideal fishing depths or safe navigation zones, saving time during busy transits.
• 1-Foot Contours: Pinpoint bottom structure with granular detail, ideal for bottom fishing in marinas, canals, or swampy inlets where every inch matters.
• Shallow Water Shading: Set a custom depth threshold to visually flag hazards, giving you a quick-reference safety net in low-visibility conditions.
• NOAA Raster Cartography: Access paper-chart-style views of surveyed areas via a simple app download, complete with lat/long labels for precise positioning.

These tools work seamlessly together, turning your chartplotter into a proactive navigation partner. Anglers use the contours to target structure, while cruisers rely on shading for stress-free coastal hops.

Why This Chart Excels for Fjord Navigation and Fishing

In the fjords, where depths plummet dramatically and weather shifts fast, standard charts often fall short. This package stands out with its fusion of Garmin reliability and Navionics precision, delivering visuals that mirror satellite and sonar surveys. Boaters report fewer surprises, quicker route planning, and more time enjoying the scenery rather than troubleshooting.

For fishing enthusiasts, the hyper-detailed bathymetry uncovers wrecks, reefs, and drop-offs teeming with cod, mackerel, and pollock—species abundant in these nutrient-rich waters. Pair it with your sonar for a complete picture, and you'll consistently hit productive spots others miss.

Practical tip: Before heading out, zoom into port plans for Trondheim or Hitra to familiarize yourself with dock layouts and approach channels, ensuring smooth arrivals even in crowded summer traffic.

Seamless Integration and Everyday Reliability

Designed for plug-and-play use with compatible chartplotters, the charts load effortlessly onto microSD or SD cards. Once installed, they enhance your display with vibrant, high-res imagery that performs in all lighting conditions. Regular updates keep data fresh, reflecting the latest surveys and notices to mariners.

Backed by Garmin's commitment to marine excellence, this chart empowers confident decision-making, whether you're a weekend sailor or a seasoned captain chasing Norway's midnight sun.
