Explore Australia's Northwest with Precision Mapping

Imagine cruising the turquoise waters of the Great Barrier Reef or navigating the intricate channels around Darwin with confidence. The Garmin Navionics+ chart for Australia's Northwest delivers exactly that—detailed, vibrant mapping that turns complex coastal and inland waters into your personal playground. Covering everything from rugged inlets to bustling ports, this chart empowers boaters, anglers, and adventurers to make smarter decisions on the water.

Unlike basic maps, this edition blends high-definition coastal contours with inland river details, giving you a seamless view from open ocean to hidden creeks. Whether you're dodging reefs off Cairns or anchoring near Port Moresby, the intuitive design and customizable layers help you spot opportunities and avoid hazards effortlessly.

Unmatched Coverage for Northern and Eastern Waters

This chart spans a vast, detail-packed region: from Wolcott Inlet in the northwest, down the eastern seaboard to Brisbane and the Gold Coast. Key highlights include the iconic Great Barrier Reef with its labyrinth of coral formations, Darwin's sheltered harbors, Cairns' marina hubs, and even extends to Port Moresby in Papua New Guinea.

Expect hyper-detailed bathymetry showing bottom structures, spot soundings down to one-foot intervals, and markings for marinas, ramps, and navigation aids. Inland enthusiasts get precise river and lake data, perfect for freshwater adventures in Queensland's hinterlands or exploring tidal estuaries.
