C-MAP®, a global leader in digital marine cartography and cloud-based mapping solutions, today announced a significant update to its New Zealand charts, now featuring the newly designated Hauraki Gulf Protection Areas across its DISCOVER™, REVEAL™, and X Gen charts.

- Green –SeafloorProtection Areas
- Yellow – High Protection Areas
- Red – Marine Reserves
The updated charts are expected to ship by the end of January. Consumers with a current C-MAP subscription can update their charts at C-MAP.com, or the X Chart Manager on compatible Simrad® and B&G® chartplotters. Customers with registered charts continue to benefit from 12 months of free updates from the date of purchase.
