Outfitting for the 2008 Sailing Season

-
A few days ago I ordered a C-map SD card for my Furuno chartplotter to cover my intended navigation area: Eastern Med.

I ordered the m-em-m003: Mediterranean, Aegean, Black Sea and much to my surprise I received a card labelled m-em-m917.

Apparently C-map has updated their product line from "mega-wide" to "mega-max" and the retailers haven't bothered to update their online catalogs (I use Waypoint out of Alameda, CA). If you're in the market make sure and get the new mega-maxes they cover the area of two mega-wides for the same price.
