Looks like Paul L's missing
charts problem isn't an isolated case.
We bought Jeppesen's
C-Map chart product for our
Furuno chart plotter containing
charts that supposedly covers all of
Central America and the
Caribbean.
The description of the product clearly states that it contains charts covering all of
Jamaica and
Cuba.
Apparently,
C-Map considers "all" of
Jamaica as Kingston Harbor only, and "all" of
Cuba as the extreme Eastern tip of the Windward
Passage. The remainder of those countries are just big brown potatoes sitting on a solid blue background.
There could easily be other areas missing in this product that I am unaware of because we have not looked at them (Baha
Mexico is also supposed to be contained, but I wonder…).
This is the only
Caribbean chart product C-Map sells, so it isn't like Jamaica and Cuba fell through the crack and is contained in another product.
So far,
MaxSea has told me to take the issue up with
Furuno, but I don't see how that will be fruitful.
In most other chart packs,
MaxSea provides a list of the charts contained in the pack so one can check before
buying the exact coverage. In the case of this specific product MaxSea does not provide this list.
People may want to be aware and cautious when
buying C-Map products.
