Designed to deliver exceptional cartographic accuracy, reliable updates, and optimal compatibility with the Adrena routing software, it has become an essential choice for modern sailors — whether recreational boaters, fishermen, merchant mariners, maritime academies, or fleet operators.

In the modern context of computer-assisted navigation, C-MAP digital cartography represents a major technological advancement, enhancing maritime safety, route planning, and voyage efficiency.

The C-MAP chart: a global reference in marine cartography

Proven and recognized technology

The C-MAP brand, owned by the Navico Group (which also owns Simrad and B&G), is one of the world leaders in digital marine cartography. Renowned for the accuracy of its data and the richness of its nautical information, C-MAP provides charts covering all navigable areas — from European coasts to oceans worldwide.

C-MAP electronic charts are based on official hydrographic surveys from national services such as Shom, UKHO, and NOAA, ensuring reliability that meets international standards.

Formats adapted to navigation software

C-MAP Max charts for Adrena are specially encoded for use with the Adrena routing software. They are available in two geographical coverage sizes: Wide and MegaWide.

Note: A C-MAP chart designed for a plotter (chartplotter) will not work with Adrena, and vice versa. Adrena requires C-MAP charts specifically encoded for this software.

These charts integrate essential data for recreational sailing, offshore racing, and professional navigation, offering a smooth and detailed interface within Adrena.

Adrena routing Software: the professional maritime routing solution

A comprehensive tool for navigation and performance

Developed in France, Adrena is the reference routing and navigation analysis software used in offshore racing — including the Vendée Globe, Route du Rhum, and many others — as well as by long-distance cruisers (Adrena Octopus version) and maritime professionals.

Compatible with numerous onboard systems, Adrena enables detailed weather analysis, route optimization based on wind and current, and precise voyage planning.

Perfect integration with C-MAP charts

One of Adrena’s key strengths lies in its native compatibility with C-MAP digital marine charts specially encoded for the software.

Thanks to this integration, users benefit from detailed chart display, easy updating, and a seamless experience when planning or monitoring navigation.

Depth areas, navigation aids, coastlines, ports, wrecks, and underwater hazards are displayed in high resolution, ensuring clear and efficient situational awareness.

Advantages of C-MAP digital Marine charts for Adrena

Accuracy and continuous updates

C-MAP charts are regularly updated through an online update service. Users gain access to the latest hydrographic data — buoy modifications, new ports, dredging works, and depth changes. For both recreational and professional mariners, this real-time reliability ensures safety and high performance.

Richness of displayed information

Beyond standard maritime topography (soundings, isobaths, coastlines, channels), C-MAP charts include a wealth of additional information:

• Anchorage zones and marinas
• Port infrastructure and fishing areas
• Submarine cables, restricted zones, and local regulations
• Details of lights and beacons
• Precise coastline contours and seabed relief

These details are vital for professional fishermen, racing skippers, sailing schools, and shipowners committed to ensuring crew and vessel safety.

Multi-purpose compatibility

C-MAP digital charts for Adrena are suitable for a wide range of users:

• Recreational sailors planning coastal or offshore cruises

Combined with Adrena’s weather and routing features, they enable the creation of safe, energy-efficient routes — a major advantage for commercial vessels and fleet operators.

Route and efficiency optimization

The synergy between C-MAP and Adrena allows navigators to:

• Calculate optimal routes based on wind, current, and swell

• Adjust vessel parameters for better performance

This makes it an ideal solution for racers, offshore fishermen, and merchant captains seeking to balance safety, speed, and fuel efficiency.
