Garmin BlueChart® g2 HD - HXAE009R - Singapore / Malaysia / Indonesia - microSD™ / SD™

Explore Southeast Asia's Coastal Wonders with Precision

Navigating the intricate waterways of Singapore, Malaysia, and Indonesia demands charts that capture every nuance of the terrain. This Garmin BlueChart g2 HD edition zeroes in on the southwestern Malay Peninsula, weaving through bustling Singapore straits and along Sumatra's eastern shores. Expect intricate mapping of key hubs like Kuantan in Malaysia, Jakarta and Merak in Indonesia, plus remote gems such as the Christmas, Keeling, and Cocos Islands. Broader sweeps cover Java, Celebes, Borneo's southern reaches, and islands stretching to Timor, blending pinpoint accuracy with expansive regional insight.

For sailors, cruisers, and fishing enthusiasts, these charts transform complex archipelagos into manageable passages. Whether dodging shallow reefs off Sumatra or threading through Singapore's high-traffic lanes, the high-definition visuals deliver the edge needed for safe, efficient voyages.

Key Features Tailored for Real-World Boating

Crafted from official hydrographic sources and proprietary data, these charts integrate essential elements like buoys, beacons, depth soundings, contour lines, tidal predictions, and current flows. Harbors and marinas pop with granular detail, from berth layouts to approach channels.

• Depth Range Shading: Customize up to 10 shading layers to highlight your ideal fishing depths or safe navigation zones, making quick scans effortless even in choppy conditions.
• Ultra-Fine Contours: 1-foot intervals reveal subtle bottom features—crucial for probing swamps, narrow canals, or marina slips where inches matter.
• Shallow Water Highlighting: Set your own threshold to shade risky shallows, preventing groundings in uncharted shallows common around Indonesia's myriad islands.
• Port-Ready Precision: High-res port plans guide you confidently into and out of busy terminals like Jakarta or quieter outposts like Kuantan.

These aren't just maps; they're dynamic tools that adapt to your vessel's needs, whether you're a weekend angler targeting snapper near Borneo or a delivery captain plotting efficient routes through the Malacca Strait.

Why Mariners in Singapore, Malaysia, and Indonesia Rely on This Chart

The region's waters challenge even seasoned skippers with shifting sands, strong tidal rips, and dense traffic. In Singapore's strategic ports, precision averts collisions amid supertankers. Malaysia's east coast demands vigilance against unlit obstacles, while Indonesia's vast expanse—from Java's crowded bays to Timor's outer reefs—requires charts that expose hidden hazards.

Fishermen praise the contour detail for spotting drop-offs teeming with tuna and mackerel. Cruisers appreciate shaded shallows that flag eco-sensitive zones or prime anchorages. Loaded on microSD or SD cards, it slips seamlessly into compatible Garmin chartplotters, overlaying real-time sonar and GPS for a fused awareness unmatched by paper alternatives.

"In the Java Sea, those 1-foot contours saved my hull more than once—spotting a reef the locals missed."

Pro tip: Pair with your plotter's Auto Guidance to auto-plot routes skirting no-go areas, factoring in your boat's draft for stress-free planning.
