Just got my Bahamas CMAP chip in the mail today.

Given that charts of the Bahamas are notorious for their inaccuracies,
I'd be interested in hearing about the experience of others vis-a-vis
the accuracy of CMAP's chart information.

Last time I was in Bimini, I was ON Bimini according to CMAP.
But they now have the Explorer charts on chips. Should be much better accuracy.

Yes, I already have the Explorer Chart books. Last night I was
checking some of their waypoints and routes against the ones on the
CMAP chip and it looks like they match up perfectly. The chip that I
bought was not advertised as including the Explorer data but appears
that it does. It's going to be nice having all of the Explorer data
in one seamless collection without flipping pages back and forth.

Explorer chart kits on them. So they should be more accurate.
