3.C-MAP MAX OVERVIEW

3.0INTRODUCTION

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 Chart Plotters; 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 Chart Plotter gets data from both charts (depending on the current position).

·When NT+ data and MAX data cover the same area, the GPS Chart Plotter gets data only from MAX chart.
