UPDATE ON C-MAP SITE

C-Map has launched an updated website catering to recreational boaters.

Featuring rich content covering the entire C-Map range and optimised for mobile devices, it makes it easy for consumers to find the chart they need via new location, chart or device compatibility searches. Search by ‘My area’, which will show available charts in and around the user’s location or area of their choosing. Clicking on any of the charts in the search results provides a detailed product description of the chart.

Meanwhile, the new ‘Charts’ search gives consumers an overview of different chart technologies available, along with an at-a-glance chart comparison guide.

One of the most significant features of the site is the capability to filter a search by device compatibility. This removes the hassle of chart comparison tables or conducting online searches about device compatibility, by providing a list of compatible chart options based on consumer chartplotter brand and model.

The site also includes a dealer locator and a ‘Buy now’ function that makes purchasing a chart on the site fast and easy, ensuring the smoothest possible consumer experience.
