Vector mapping provides detailed electronic chart information in a format designed specifically for compatible marine chartplotters, helping make navigation information clear and easy to interpret.
High-Resolution Bathymetry
For anglers in particular, one of the standout features of C-MAP DISCOVER is High-Resolution Bathymetry (HRB).
Detailed underwater contours can help identify potentially important seabed features such as:
- Drop-offs
- Ledges
- Holes
- Humps
- Shallow areas
- Changes in underwater structure
C-MAP DISCOVER incorporates compiled and quality-controlled Genesis data within its High-Res Bathymetry layer, providing additional seabed detail for compatible chartplotters.
This makes DISCOVER particularly useful for anglers looking to better understand underwater terrain and identify potentially productive fishing areas.
Custom Depth Shading
Custom Depth Shading allows compatible chartplotters to display selected depth ranges using different shading.
For cruising, this can help make a chosen safety depth easier to identify.
For fishing, custom depth ranges can make particular contours, drop-offs and areas of interest stand out more clearly on the chart.
It's a simple but powerful feature for tailoring your chart display to the way you use your boat.
Subscription-Free Easy Routing
C-MAP's Easy Routing assists with automatically plotting a route based on detailed chart data and the vessel information entered into your compatible chartplotter.
Easy Routing is subscription-free, making it a useful route-planning feature for cruising and exploring unfamiliar waters.
Electronic routing is a navigational aid and should always be used together with appropriate seamanship, current navigational information and safe navigation practices.
Tides & Currents
C-MAP DISCOVER includes Tides & Currents information, providing projections of water levels and tidal direction.
This information can be particularly useful when planning:
- Fishing trips
- Harbour departures and arrivals
- Coastal passages
- Sailing trips
- Anchorage movements
- General boating activities
Having tidal information integrated into your chartplotter helps bring important trip-planning information together in one place.
Detailed Marina Port Plans
When arriving somewhere unfamiliar, detailed harbour and marina information can make planning considerably easier.
C-MAP DISCOVER includes Detailed Marina Port Plans covering thousands of marinas, with information that can include marina layouts, restricted areas and other useful details.
