C-MAP's simple user interface allows you to:
* Quickly view your chart data.

Utilizing the same C-MAP NT C-cards you use on your boat, C-MAP's PC-Planner NT lets you quickly and easily display color chart data, create and edit routes, measure distances between ports or points of interest, and much more. You can also save waypoints, marks and routes to your User C-card and transfer them between your PC and C-MAP NT compatible electronic charting system.

Navigators planning with this system will benefit from the wealth of information contained in C-MAP's electronic charts of coastal, offshore and SuperLakes cruising and fishing destinations. C-MAP NT vector-based electronic charts provide vital navigation data such as:

* Depth Contours

* Obstacles & Hazards
* Landmarks

.It also offers the capability to customize how this information is displayed on your chart plotter to suit your navigating needs.

C-MAP NT includes Port & Tide(tm) Info that you with vital data including tidal stage and direction, along with updated location and contact information for marinas, fuel docks, emergency services and more.
The latest version of PC-Planner received several important software upgrades, designed to enhance features and improve performance for navigators. For example, route-planning improvements allow users to create multiple copies of existing routes, reverse a route with the click of a mouse, rename a route and create a new route from existing waypoints. Navigators can also now turn-off or hide user points without deleting them.

C-MAP PC Planner is now compatible with furuno Plotters.

Taking a page from C-MAP's exclusive "Guardian Technology" (anti-grounding) feature found on C-MAP NT+ compatible chart plotters, PC- Planner now features a new Anti-Grounding Alarm that automatically checks planned routes to ensure safe navigation based on user-defined criteria, such as the minimum draft.

Enhanced search (by port name) and zoom modes, tide graphs with day/night shading, a variety of new user selectable settings and a new user manual that is also incorporated into the 'Help' section of the software, all combine to make PC-Planner a more effective and flexible navigation planning tool.

RAYMARINE: Recently, Raymarine issued a software upgrade that makes their chart plotters 100% compatible with PC-Planner and C-MAP's User Cards. While the exact version number of the software varies from chart plotter to chart plotter, we have tested the following systems with these software versions:
RL760 - Software v3.20
RL70C - Software v4.11
RL80 - Software v3.20
RC631- Software v3.20
All of the above work as documented with the PC-Planner and C-MAP'S User C-card.
Any Raymarine customer anticipating the purchase of a PC-Planner is advised to contact Raymarine directly. C-MAP recommends that you inquire about what will be needed to get your charting system's software/firmware updated in order to be compatible with PC-Planner, if you do not have the above versions.

PLEASE NOTE: In some instances, a hardware upgrade is also necessary in order to complete this update.

Important Note: Customers who do not own one of the chart plotters listed in the matrix above can still purchase PC-Planner and view their regular format (non-Furuno) C-cards. These users will have access to the same chart information as users with "compatible" chart plotters. However, they will not be able to transfer data to and from the chart plotter with a user card.
