Anyone running CMAP MAX chart Plotter card
Submitted by Dean78 on Fri, 2016-03-04 15:39
Have a Navman 6600 with a 2004 CMAP NT+ card. Don't really want to swap unit just to get Navionics Gold.
Wondering if the contour detail on the CMAP MAX is any good for WA as they say on the Jeppeson website, like in comparison to Navionics Gold.
MAX is the top card the 6600 will take and cannot find anywhere in Perth to view. Only purchase through Whitworths or Chivers.
Any help much appreciated.

Hey mate I have this card. No where near as much detail as navionics gold for WA IMO.
Your welcome to come look at both side by side

Thanks for the offer Stevo81
Thanks for the offer Stevo81, I have just dicovered where to purchase a Bathymetric chart. This should give me the contours I am after without the navigation part. Hopefully it runs over the top of the NT+ map.
At $100 I am going to give it a try. Original post, was just looking for info as the Max card is $310.
Cheers, will let you know how it goes.

I have one also
Running it in a Sitex GP-95. Navionics ( which I am also running) has more detail, but I don't know that it is the sort of detail which will translate into more fish...

Agree, won't put you on more
Agree, won't put you on more fish but I definitely appreciate the extra detail on the navionics when navigating around shallow ground like Rotto, Abrolhos etc

Now in the market for Lowrance HDS7
So I got the Bathymetric card and the Navman unit we have will not read it even though Jeppeson website said it was compatible. Apparently the software we have is too old (2004) and cannot upgrade as Lowrance bought out Navman and no longer support it. Lowrance have an upgrade offer for Navman unit to Lowrance but only if the unit is less than 7 years old.
