When developing MAX, C-Map not only focused on the powerful features and functions of MAX, but also on the intrinsic design factors that directly effect the ultimate quality and precision of MAX electronic charts. Drawing on the experience C-Map have gained in supplying charts to the Professional SOLAS shipping market, our engineers have doubled the data resolution that chart objects are stored at, creating smoother contour lines and more accurate positioning of all the objects that appear on a MAX chart. All of these improvements are designed to meet the new International ISO 19379 standard for Electronic charts and MAX will be put forward for testing and approval during 2005. With a worldwide database of over 20,000 charts, updated on a continuous weekly basis and an internal ISO9002 approved chart production and quality process, MAX users can be assured that they are using the very best quality electronic charts available on the market today
