C-MAP has unveiled its latest app for boaters, anglers, sailors and water-lovers alike, including a Premium version.Â
It features new mapping features, more advanced functionality and a new shaded relief option, previously only available in C-MAP REVEAL products for chartplotters. Â
The C-MAP app is free to download and easy to use, delivering subscription-free access to the latest nautical charts along with a range of features, including personal waypoints, routes and tracks, weather updates, points of interest, planning tools and many ways to personalise. The C-MAP app can function as the complete solution to your nautical planning and on-water navigation needs, or for those using a chartplotter, it is an excellent backup.Â
The detailed C-MAP cartography has a broad range of uses from the solo kayaker in-shore to large powerboats going out for multiple-day trips and everything in between – even the marine hobbyist just exploring the Earth’s bodies of water and waterways in the palm of their hand.
Premium includes all the features available to free users, plus unlimited offline maps downloads, High-Resolution Bathymetry, AIS and C-MAP Traffic, five-day weather along the route and weather overlay, and GPS position full navigation functionality. Premium access also unlocks Custom Depth Shading and – available in early July for the first time in the C-MAP app – global Shaded Relief.
 Users can plan a route from their computer, tablet or smartphone, and the data will sync across all devices. Then, when they are out on the water, users can save their favourite places to drop anchor or fish and follow the same safe passage every time with the breadcrumb trail that shows up in a personalised map. In addition, boaters can check out thousands of points of interest included in the maps like marinas, harbours, beaches and fuel docks.
