Rietumeiropas karte C-MAP Max

The C-MAP Max Europe West chart is an electronic marine chart designed for coastal and offshore navigation in this region. It provides a comprehensive set of vector chart data, including detailed information for route planning and safety at sea.

The C-MAP Max Western Europe chart covers a large part of Western Europe. This typically includes:

The coasts of France (English Channel, Atlantic, Mediterranean)The coasts of Spain and PortugalThe United Kingdom and IrelandBelgium and the NetherlandsPart of the German North Sea coastFor precise details on coverage limits, it is recommended to consult the product's specific coverage area.

The C-MAP Max card provides a complete set of vector chart data, including:

Depth zones and bathymetric contoursNavigation aids (buoys, lighthouses)Light sectorsWrecks and underwater hazardsInformation on facilities for small craftDetailed marina plansAerial photos to assist approaches

Yes, the C-MAP Max chart includes a high-resolution bathymetric (HRB) layer. This feature allows identification of underwater structures with details down to 30 centimeters (1 foot) in specific areas, providing better understanding of the seabed.

The Easy Routing™ function is an advanced feature of the C-MAP Max chart that automatically calculates the shortest and safest route. It uses cartographic data and your vessel's specifications (draught, height, etc.) to suggest an optimal path, avoiding hazards and shallow areas. This function does not require an additional subscription.

Yes, the C-MAP Max chart provides accurate information on tides and currents. This includes water levels, current directions and strengths, which is essential for navigation planning and safety at sea.

Yes, the C-MAP Max chart includes highly detailed marina charts. These charts, often supplemented with aerial photos, greatly assist in approaches and harbour manoeuvres in thousands of marinas and inlets.

The C-MAP Max series is a solid foundation for marine charting, offering essential features for daily navigation. Newer ranges like C-MAP MAX-N+, DISCOVER, and REVEAL provide additional features and higher levels of detail.

C-MAP MAX-N+ : Offers extended compatibility with Lowrance, Simrad, and B&G chartplotters of the latest generation, along with improved features. C-MAP DISCOVER : Includes all basic features with high-resolution bathymetry data and satellite imagery. C-MAP REVEAL : The highest tier, adding ultra-high-definition Reveal bathymetric imagery (relief shading) that visualizes the seabed with near-photographic realism, as well as specific sport fishing data. The C-MAP Max does not natively support Reveal imagery or these specific fishing data.

Yes, the C-MAP Max chart allows integration of the C-MAP Genesis layer. C-MAP Genesis is a service that enables users to create and add custom bathymetric contours based on recorded sounder data, enriching the chart with additional details.

The C-MAP Max chart is a vector chart. Vector charts offer the advantage of zooming without loss of detail and customizing the display of information, unlike raster charts which are fixed images.

The C-MAP Max chart is compatible with a wide range of older-generation chartplotters. It is generally compatible with older models from brands such as:

Furuno (e.g., NavNet vx1, vx2 series)Raymarine (e.g., C-Series Classic, E-Series Classic)Standard HorizonNorthstarSome older models from Lowrance (e.g., GlobalMap, LCX series) and Simrad (e.g., CX series).It is crucial to verify the specific compatibility with your chartplotter's model and software version before purchasing.

To verify compatibility of your chartplotter, the best method is to consult the user manual of your device or the manufacturer’s website. Look for the section on compatible charts and supported formats. You can also contact C-MAP technical support or your dealer by providing the exact model and software version of your chartplotter.

No, the C-MAP Max chart is generally not compatible with the most recent Lowrance, Simrad or B&G devices. These devices use more modern chart formats, such as C-MAP MAX-N+, C-MAP DISCOVER or C-MAP REVEAL. The C-MAP Max is designed for chartplotters from earlier generations.

In some cases, updating the firmware of your chartplotter may be required to ensure optimal compatibility and proper functioning of all features of the C-MAP Max chart. It is always recommended to verify that your device has the latest software version available from the manufacturer.

Installing the C-MAP Max chart is straightforward. Simply insert the chart (usually an SD or MicroSD card) into the dedicated slot on your chartplotter. Ensure the chartplotter is powered off before inserting or removing the card. Once the card is inserted, power on your chartplotter, and it should automatically detect and load the chart data.

The C-MAP Max chart is usually provided on a MicroSD card, often supplied with a standard SD card adapter. This allows flexibility for use with different card readers on chartplotters.

Yes, the C-MAP Max chart is covered by the manufacturer's standard warranty against manufacturing defects. This warranty ensures that the physical medium (SD/MicroSD card) and preloaded data are free of defects at the time of purchase.

C-MAP charts are produced from official sources and are designed to provide high accuracy and reliability for navigation. C-MAP strives to keep its data up to date, but navigators should always exercise caution and rely on all available navigation aids.

The C-MAP Max Europe West chart is delivered as a physical memory card, typically a preloaded MicroSD card containing the chart data. It is often supplied with an adapter for standard SD cards, allowing insertion into most compatible chartplotter card readers.

The C-MAP Max Europe West map is compatible with a selection of chartplotters that support the C-MAP Max format. It is important to verify the compatibility of your specific device, as this format is typically supported by older generations of chartplotters.

C-MAP Max maps have historically been compatible with certain chartplotter models from the following brands:

Furuno

Raymarine (some older models)

Northstar

Standard Horizon

Some older-generation Lowrance and Simrad chartplotters.

To confirm compatibility, we recommend consulting the user manual of your chartplotter or checking directly on the manufacturer's website for your device. Compatibility may depend on the exact model and the internal software version (firmware) of your device.
