EUROPEAN INLAND WATERS-MAX

This is an electronic chart specifically designed for navigation on European inland waterways. It provides detailed, up-to-date vector chart data recognized as a global standard for river and lake navigation.

This C-MAP chart, identified by code EN-M018, specifically covers European inland waters, including rivers and lakes.

C-MAP MAX charts use vector chart data to provide accurate navigation information. They are optimized for inland and lake navigation, delivering essential details for freshwater environments.

No, unlike C-MAP MAX+ formats, C-MAP MAX charts do not include satellite imagery, oblique aerial images, or raster maps. They focus on vector data for navigation.

C-MAP chart libraries are updated twice a year, ensuring you have the most up-to-date information for your navigation.

Updates include the latest details, including notices to mariners from government hydrographic services, as well as updated information on harbor facilities and marina services.

The C-MAP EUROPEAN INLAND WATERS-MAX cartography is usually supplied on an mSD data medium with an SD card adapter, or in C-Card C-MAP format. The exact format may vary.

It is usually supplied on a microSD (mSD) card with an SD card adapter. This allows flexibility when using SD and microSD card readers.

Yes, this charting is a reference solution not only for cruisers and sailors, but also for fishermen navigating European inland waterways, thanks to its detailed data on seabeds and structures.

This is electronic charting data provided on a physical storage medium such as an mSD card or a C-Card. It is not downloadable software but a ready-to-use chart.

C-MAP MAX charts are compatible with a wide range of chartplotters from various manufacturers. For optimal compatibility, it is recommended to check the list of compatible devices on the C-MAP website or in your chartplotter's manual.

To verify compatibility, consult the user manual of your fishfinder-GPS or the compatibility list provided by C-MAP or the manufacturer of your device. Look for products compatible with the C-MAP MAX family.

C-MAP is a brand of the Navico group, which also includes Lowrance, Simrad and B&G. Therefore, this chart data is generally compatible with many chartplotter models from these brands. A specific check of your device model is always recommended.

The C-Card is a proprietary C-MAP format, whereas the mSD/SD is a standard format. Both contain the same C-MAP MAX cartographic data. Compatibility will depend on the type of card reader present on your chartplotter.

C-MAP chart licenses are typically tied to the physical media of the chart. You can move the chart between different compatible devices, but you cannot use it simultaneously on multiple devices without purchasing additional charts.

To install the map, simply insert the data storage device (microSD/SD card or C-Card) into the appropriate card reader of your chartplotter. Ensure the device is powered off before insertion to avoid any damage.

Once the card is inserted and the device is powered on, the chart data should be automatically detected and displayed. You may need to select the chart source in your chartplotter’s display settings if multiple charts are present or if you have multiple card readers.

No, once the chart is installed, the cartographic data is stored locally on the card and does not require an internet connection for navigation. A connection may be useful for future updates, but not for basic use.

After inserting and powering on your chartplotter, navigate to the chart display screen. If the chart is correctly installed, you should see detailed European inland waters displayed with C-MAP MAX features.

No, C-MAP chart data is copyrighted and cannot be copied, saved, or transferred to another medium. The physical chart is the only valid medium for using the mapping.
