Garmin Standard Mapping® - Louisiana One Premium microSD™/SD™ card

Navigating Louisiana's intricate coastal waters demands precision, especially amid the twisting bayous, expansive marshes, and bustling offshore zones. This premium mapping card delivers statewide coastal aerial overlays with stunning high-resolution imagery that captures every nuance of the landscape. Local waterway and land feature names bring familiarity to unfamiliar territory, while clearly outlined Wildlife Management Areas and Offshore Lease Areas help you plan safer, more efficient trips whether you're chasing trophy fish, scouting duck blinds, or scouting oil platforms.

Key Navigation Enhancements for Louisiana Boaters

Stand out from the crowd with features tailored specifically for Louisiana's unique environment. Offshore field lease blocks stand out boldly, outlined in red with crisp white labels, making it effortless to identify boundaries during Gulf expeditions. For inshore adventures, yellow lines trace recommended routes—a meticulously crafted "highway system" through the marsh by Standard Mapping experts. These paths cut through the maze of channels, saving time and fuel while minimizing the risk of grounding in shallow spots.

Wildlife Management Areas pop in vibrant green outlines, ideal for hunters targeting public lands or anglers respecting regulated zones. Coverage spans Louisiana One Premium, ensuring seamless detail from the Atchafalaya Basin to the Chandeleur Islands, empowering confident decisions on the water.

Why This Mapping Solution Excels in Louisiana Waters

Louisiana's coastline challenges even seasoned captains with its dynamic tides, hurricanes reshaping shorelines, and dense vegetation. Unlike basic vector charts, this card layers detailed aerial photography over vector data, offering a hybrid view that's both intuitive and informative. Insert the card, and your Garmin display transforms into a local guide, highlighting routes born from years of on-water experience. It's not just a map—it's a strategic partner for multi-day trips, commercial fishing runs, or family outings on the bay.

Boat captains rave about the time saved dodging dead-end canals, while offshore workers appreciate the clear lease demarcations that align with federal charts. For weekend warriors, it's the difference between a frustrating day and a limit catch under the marsh grass.
