The BlueChart g3 Vision VUS513L covers the Florida Peninsula from St. Mary’s, Georgia, through Miami to Fort Myers, plus the Florida Keys, Bahamas, and Turks and Caicos Islands. The preloaded microSD/SD card combines Garmin and Navionics chart content with Auto Guidance, 1-foot contours, depth shading, satellite imagery, and 3D views for compatible Garmin chartplotters.
If your current Garmin chartplotter or marine handheld is not compatible with the newer Garmin Navionics+™ mapping format, you can still enjoy our previous-generation BlueChart g3 coastal charts and LakeVü g3 inland maps for reliable navigation and fun times on the water. Check chartplotter compatibility.
