MapMedia’s new mm3d areas are specifically designed to utilize MaxSea’s new Time Zero technology. These charts allow optimal use of all versions of MaxSea Time Zero software and the Furuno NavNet 3D product line.

  • Immediate zooming and scrolling of the chart without any lag.
  • PhotoFusion enables to fuse satellite images directly onto your chart, to simultaneously display the most relevant information from both
    satellite images and nautical charts.
  • 3D Visualization to increase situational awareness.

Altimetry

MaxSea Time Zero and Furuno NavNet 3D utilize MapMedia .mm3d altimetry to realistically represent the shoreline. The advantages are numerous such as the instantaneous identification of port entries or the identification of specific shoreline features. The use of altimetry also allows you to navigate in a realistic perspective view in relation to the horizon.

Satellite Photos

MaxSea Time Zero utilizes satellite photographs in a new and exciting way, called PhotoFusion. This new technology allows fuses the Satellite Photographs with the Raster or Vector charts to provide, only the data you need for safe navigation, in an intuitive, realistic manner. Included with each .mm3d data pack is standard resolution satellite photographs. High definition satellite photographs are only available for certain areas. MapMedia continues to work together with data providers to expand and update the satellite photograph catalog.

Bathymetry

MapMedia .mm3d bathymetry is based on the graphic interpretation of chart contour lines. This 3D representation is very useful when entering a port or an anchorage, providing another navigation tool to keep you aware of submerged dangers.

The S52 Vector Chart Standard

The S52 standard is published by the International Hydrographic Office (IHO). S-52 is an internationally adopted standard that regulates electronic vector chart display and iconography, to make it easy to view and understand. MapMedia .mm3d vector charts comply with this international standard.

MM3D Raster Charts

Marine raster charts are produced based on National hydrographic offices’ marine cartograhy. As True digital copies, they allow to get on screen the official marine paper charts that you were accustomed to use.

MM3D Vector Charts

The C- map by Jeppesen vector charts are reproductions of marine cartography where data are processed and digitized in a format allowing additional information: information on buoys, lighthouses and ports, specific instructions on regulations, etc.

Raster or Vector Charts?

It's hard to say which chart format is better than the other, the choice is often based ultimately on user habits. The paper marine chart amateurs will prefer electronic raster chart, while those who have always used vector charts will struggle to break away.
