Hi Larry,

I have recently installed a Simrad CX44 with C-Map NT Max with a
MegaWide Cartridge.

Coverage is great, I think they are excellent value. The update rate
on the screen is excellent - as fast as I have seen on any plotter.
But I guess this could be down to the plotter rather than the c-map
chart it's self.

You can get the charts at:

http://www.nav.ie/catalog/product_in...roducts_id=135

These guys will supply charts for anywhere in the world - even though
the site only has european sites in the shopping cart - if you just
drop them an email. Also if you are in the US the prices are lower
than on the site (by 21% as you do not have to pay VAT).

It is worth noting that you can only use the new mega-wide cartridges
on NT Max compatible plotters.

Here is a list of compatible plotters (I guess this list goes out of
date as soon as it is posted!):
