5.5 Information on C-Map chart licenses and subscriptions
The Chart Library uses charts supplied by C-Map. Charts are grouped together into
collections that cover various regions of the world.
All of the C-Map chart collections are pre-loaded into the 8000i. You must
purchase a license for each chart collection that you want to use, and then update
this license annually.
A subscription to the chart updates is included free with the first year's license, and
you can update this annually if you want to maintain your subscription.
You can purchase the licenses and subscriptions in three ways:
•
through your dealer
•
over the phone
•
over the internet
The information about your licenses and subscriptions is stored on your Chart
License Key (also called the dongle or memory stick).
5.6 Purchase or rent?
If you purchase a chart collection, it is always available. Additionally, you can install
the chart databases released within a one-year period after purchase, at no extra
cost.
If you rent a chart collection, it is available for a four-month period.
5.7 Different ways to choose a chart collection
You can choose a chart collection in three ways:
•
from the list of available chart collections
•

chart collections indicate price conditions: the chart collections
with the squares of the same size have the same price
