JEPPESEN MARINE REDEVELOPS CHART CATALOGUE

Thursday, October 4, 2007
EGERSUND, NORWAY, October 4, 2007: Jeppesen Marine proudly announces a new C-Map chart catalogue designed to ease ordering and managing electronic charts for the end user. The improvements, which stem from extensive study of end users’ experiences and which were made in co-operation with key stakeholders, reaffirm Jeppesen Marine’s commitment to being the leader in digital navigation for commercial maritime users. "As a major distributor of ENCs [electronic navigational charts], we have a great source of user feedback. We discovered that planning the needed chart portfolio and ordering the correct ENCs were obstacles for end-users, so we determined to do something about it," said Jeppesen Marine marketing manager Willy Zeiler. First, Jeppesen Marine's new Dynamic Licensing concept is under implementation in most of the ECDIS systems delivered by our OEMs. Dynamic Licensing allows the navigator to obtain necessary charts, updates and licenses in seconds without a preordering process. Costs are controlled via pre-set budgets and spending limits -- in essence, this is "pay as you go". Secondly, the new C-Map Chart Catalogue from Jeppesen Marine has numerous features to make ordering and managing ENCs easier for the end-user: Name and ENC code on the individual ENC cell Possibility to import C-Routes from C-MAP OceanView Immediate summary of the portfolio cost Possibility to select needed ENCs and send Send an order direct via e-mail, or Print the order form and send order via fax More info/names on the overview chart Simple-to-use search and help functions Coverage and prices automatically updated when connected to Internet "Over 5000 users have already registered the C-Map chart catalogues," said Zeiler.
