Garmin BlueChart® g3 HD - HXSA009R - Amazon River - microSD™/SD™ Product Description
Navigate the Mighty Amazon with Precision
Embarking on an expedition along the world's largest river demands charts that match its scale and complexity. This Garmin BlueChart g3 HD edition zeroes in on the Amazon River's intricate waterways, delivering high-definition mapping from Benjamin Constant in Brazil all the way to the Atlantic Ocean. It extends coverage up the Madeira River to Porto Velho, plus key stretches of the Tapajos and Para Rivers—perfect for explorers, anglers, and commercial operators tackling South America's inland aquatic maze.
Unlike basic maps, these charts blend official hydrographic data with private surveys, spotlighting navigational markers, precise spot soundings, depth contours, tidal influences, and currents. Whether dodging sandbars in the dry season or navigating flood-swollen channels during rains, you'll gain the edge needed for safer passages.
Standout Features Tailored for River Challenges
- Seamless Data Fusion: Combines Garmin's proprietary insights with Navionics precision for coastal and inland clarity, ensuring every twist and turn of the Amazon is rendered with lifelike detail.
- Smart Auto Guidance: Input your boat's draft and overhead limits, and it plots an optimal route—crucial for avoiding submerged logs or narrowing tributaries common in Amazon navigation.
- Multi-Range Depth Shading: Customize up to 10 depth bands to instantly spot safe zones, helping you maintain course amid fluctuating riverbed conditions.
- Ultra-Fine 1-Foot Contours: Reveal subtle bottom structures ideal for targeting fish in shallow bays or threading through swampy canals and tight marinas along riverbanks.
- Shallow Water Highlighting: Set your own shallow threshold for instant visual alerts, preventing groundings in the Amazon's notoriously deceptive shallows.
These tools transform your chartplotter into a dynamic ally, adapting to real-time conditions like shifting sediments or seasonal water levels that define Amazon travel.
Why Amazon Mariners Rely on These Charts
The Amazon's 4,000+ miles of navigable waters hide perils like rapid currents, hidden reefs, and ever-changing depths. Traditional paper charts fall short here—too static and coarse for modern vessels. This digital solution offers zoomable, layered views that update your situational awareness on the fly, boosting confidence during long hauls from Iquitos to Belém.
For fishing enthusiasts, the detailed contours unlock prime spots for peacock bass or tambaqui amid flooded forests. Commercial skippers appreciate the harbor and marina insets for seamless docking at remote outposts. Loaded on a microSD or SD card, it's plug-and-play with compatible plotters, freeing you to focus on the journey.
Real-World Tips for Maximum Value
- Pair with sonar for live depth verification against charted contours during low-water months.
- Use Auto Guidance for night runs, cross-referencing with local knowledge for unmarked hazards.
- Customize shading for your vessel's specifics—deeper for cargo boats, shallower for sportfishers.
