ENGLEWOOD, COLO. | 30 Jul 2013 | By Jeppesen

Jeppesen will be highlighting the latest enhancements and additions to its flagship C-MAP 4D cartography for boaters across the Oceanic region during the 46th Sydney International Boat Show, 1-5 August at the Sydney Convention and Exhibit Centre. Boaters who visit the Jeppesen exhibit (Stand No. 416) will learn about new High-Resolution Bathymetry (HRB) and other Jeppesen value added data available in the companys Summer 2013 Release for the region, as well as the latest compatible chartplotting systems.

Jeppesens exclusive High Resolution Bathymetry provides boaters and fishermen with the highest available level of detail for offshore canyons, depressions, pinnacles and other bottom features. This exclusive picture of the underwater world is especially useful for bluewater anglers, as the irregularities in the seafloor create deep-sea upwellings that concentrate baitfish and the pelagic gamefish that feed on them. Jeppesens new High Resolution Bathymetry charts are superior to standard cartography and other competitive products and are even a major advancement over previous C-MAP bathymetric charts for the region.

C-MAP 4D is compatible with two of the newest chartplotters from marine electronics leader Furuno the 5.7 display GP-1670 and 7 display GP-1870. Both are also available with built-in echosounders, providing fishermen with a powerful combination for navigation and fishfinding. These advanced plotters feature accurate 50-channel GPS receivers with standard built-in antennas and bonded, color TFT LCD displays with special Anti-Reflective (AR) glass filters for superior visibility on open boats. These brilliant, sharp color displays are ideal for displaying the rich chart detail provided by C-MAP 4D, whether navigating to the fishing grounds or pinpointing offshore structure. C-MAP 4D cartography gives boaters expansive chart coverage and a variety of advanced features including:

• 3D chart views with high-resolution coastal satellite imagery overlaid onto accurate and up-to-date vector chart data
• Exclusive aerial photos depicting popular harbors, marinas and inlets for added confidence in unfamiliar waters
• Dynamic raster charts that combine a traditional nautical chart look with the ability to get more information about chart objects like rocks, navaids or wrecks
• Exclusive Easy Routing feature that automatically creates the safest, shortest route for boaters
• Customizable charts that can grow with your boating needs, such as Jeppesens Value Added Data, sport fishing info, wreck data, and more

C-MAP 4D gives boaters the ability to add or update chart information as it becomes available, so Australian boaters can always cruise, fish or sail with confidence. Find out more at the Sydney International Boat Show or visit www.jeppesen.com/lightmarine.
