Preview Upcoming EarthNC Products at the 2008 Miami Boat Show
Feb 4th, 2008 by virgil
Join us at the 2008 Miami Boat Show (February 14th-18th) for a hands-on preview of the upcoming EarthNC Premium Weather and Bahamas Charting. We will of course have the full line of EarthNC Plus, Raster, and GPS bundle products for sale at special boat-show prices. The EarthNC Booth will be located in spot 4262 in the big tent behind the convention center.
Bahamas Charts
Serving our most requested international destination, the EarthNC Bahamas charts will offer hybrid vector/raster coverage of the Bahamas Islands in three regions. The 1st region will be the Northwest Bahamas including the Abacos, Grand Bahama, Berry Islands, and Bimini targeted for a spring 2008 release. The Southeast Bahamas will follow later in 2008 with the Central Bahamas scheduled for a winter release. Chart data is based on Wavey Line Data and includes routes, marinas, lights, wrecks, depths and contours, and more.
