3. C-MAP MAX OVERVIEW

3.0 INTRODUCTION

C-MAP MAX is a major evolution of the NT/NT+ product technology. Key points are:
New Data Features
·Tides and Currents (intuitive arrows show direction and strength)
·World Background Charts with terrestrial data
·Value Added Data (Pictures and Diagrams, Land Data)
·Enhanced Port Info
New Presentation Features
·Clear Info (sophisticated “Human Dictionary” to translate Nav-Aid abbreviations found
on paper charts)
·Dynamic Nav-Aids (an innovative and dynamic presentation mode)
·Flexi-Zoom (increased Under and Over Zoom between chart levels, resulting in optimal
scale display for any situation)
·Dynamic Elevation Data (optimized palettes for GPS chartplotters; includes new
NOAA palette)
·Perspective View (“Real World” perspective view of the chart, updated real-time during
navigation)
MAX and NT/NT+ C-CARD coexistence
·When NT+ data and MAX data cover different areas, the GPS chartplotter gets data
from both charts (depending on the current position).
·When NT+ data and MAX data cover the same area, the GPS chartplotter gets data only
from MAX chart.
