C Map Question

[Anonymous]

I can use either of these C-Map "Contour Maps"....

"NT+" or "MAX". The NT+ is less money.

Is there any difference in detail or info.....
or is the only difference the "Coverage Area" ?

Since we don’t make the charts here is a link to the C-Map Jeppesen website:
http://ww1.jeppesen.com/marine/lightmar ... charts.jsp
There is a comparison of what you get with each, but I believe the contours would be the same. Check it out first and you can contact them directly. They have always been very helpful to our customers. :respect

I'm under the impression
Furuno charts are
Jepperson products....not true ?

FF-
I'm not really sure I understand the question. Jeppesen (C-Map) makes charts that can be used by a number of manufacturers. Which GPS plotter do you have?

I asked this ? here at the Furuno forum with the understanding Jeppesen makes
Furuno branded electronic charts for Furuno. Just as ICOM makes Furuno VHF's.

Am I mistaken ?

btw, GPS is a GP 7000F

The charts for that are used in the GP7000 are not branded Furuno.
Furuno USA does not carry or sell charts for this unit. When a dealer sells you a chart for the GP7000 they are ordering it from Jeppesen.

Simply put, (while dating myself), is "We make the record player and they make the records"

There seems to be something less than an "arm's length" relationship
between Furuno and Jeppesen.


At any rate, best info I can get is NT+ card has same info,
less coverage area and less resolution than Max card.

Thanks.

I understand the confusion. :think

Yes, those part numbers use the Jeppesen datacore but are produced by MapMedia. Those chart listings are not available to work with a GP7000. They were designed for NavNet 3D, MaxSea Time Zero software, and NavNet TZtouch.

The charts you need are the same ones used by C-Map version NavNet vx2.

I'm glad you were able to find the information on the NT vs. MAX. :jump
