5.5Information on C-Map chart licenses and subscriptions

The Chart Library uses charts supplied by C-Map. Charts are grouped together into collections that cover various regions of the world.

All of the C-Map chart collections are pre-loaded into the 8000i. You must purchase a license for each chart collection that you want to use, and then update this license annually.

A subscription to the chart updates is included free with the first year's license, and you can update this annually if you want to maintain your subscription.

You can purchase the licenses and subscriptions in three ways:

•

•

•

through your dealer over the phone over the internet

The information about your licenses and subscriptions is stored on your Chart License Key (also called the dongle or memory stick).

5.6Purchase or rent?

If you purchase a chart collection, it is always available. Additionally, you can install the chart databases released within a one-year period after purchase, at no extra cost.

If you rent a chart collection, it is available for a four-month period.

5.7Different ways to choose a chart collection

You can choose a chart collection in three ways:

•
