MAX brings new life to the electronic chart, gracefully combining unparalleled levels of chart accuracy and detail, striking presentation and a huge collection of new value added data. Building on the incredible success of C-MapNT+ (winner of the NMEA Best Electronic Charts award for the last 6 years), MAX will empower a new generation of chart plotters with truly "knock-out" performance, blistering speed and unparalleled levels of chart accuracy and detail.

New Value Added Data
When developing MAX, C-Map not only focused on the powerful features and functions of MAX, but also on the intrinsic design factors that directly effect the ultimate quality and precision of MAX electronic charts. Drawing on the experience C-Map have gained in supplying charts to the Professional SOLAS shipping market, our engineers have doubled the data resolution that chart objects are stored at, creating smoother contour lines and more accurate positioning of all the objects that appear on a MAX chart. All of these improvements are designed to meet the new International ISO 19379 standard for Electronic charts and MAX will be put forward for testing and approval during 2005. With a worldwide database of over 20,000 charts, updated on a continuous weekly basis and an internal ISO9002 approved chart production and quality process, MAX users can be assured that they are using the very best quality electronic charts available on the market today
Max Compatible Products
Below is a list of the MAX compatible chart plotters that will be on sale in the UK during 2005. The new Furuno Navnet 2 range of radar/chart plotters and all of the Simrad range listed below are new models that will be released in the next few months.

All of the other plotters listed in the table are already on sale in the UK and are 'MAX Ready'. This means that their hardware is designed for MAX and with a simple software update, become fully MAX compatible.It is intended that the software updates will become available during February to perfectly coincide with the release of the MAX cartridges. The software is supplied on a special chart cartridge and updating is very easy; simply insert the software cartridge, turn the unit on and after about 45-60 seconds the chart plotter is updated and ready to use MAX.

Many other manufacturers are busy developing MAX compatible models and during 2005 there will be a flood of new chart plotters released that use MAX.

Please consult your local Marine Electronics Dealer for more details.
