5.14Update the database by DVD

The C-Map database is updated periodically, and the updated database is issued on DVD. A C-Map office or a C-Map authorized dealer can arrange for delivery of the DVD with the updated database to you, by post.

You can receive the DVD free of charge when you have purchased or rented a chart collection and the access to updates is not yet expired.

To update the database by DVD:

1.Insert the DVD to a system computer DVD-ROM drive

2.Enter C-Map MAX Pro Chart Manager

3.Touch Update Database in Control Panel at the right side of the Start Window

4.Follow the Update Database dialog instructions

The update includes two stages: database consistency verifying, and replacing the database with the updated database.

You can refuse the consistency verifying as it may take some time. However, it is highly recommended as it checks the database for consistency. The program verifies the integrity of the database, and that the DVD containing the database is not damaged.

While replacing the old database with the new one, the program scans the updates previously installed to the old database and deletes those updates that are applied to the new database as regular data.

5.15Uninstall chart collections
