The Chart

In most ECS/ECDIS applications on the market a background world chart is not provided at all or provided with an insufficient scale. This leads to limitations in usability, the result of irritating gaps where areas are not covered by commercially purchased charts. They may even endanger the ship and crew in emergency situations.

SevenCs is offering a unique S-57 background chart with useful and safety-relevant information at a scale of 1:1,000,000. The Chart is a perfect basis for improving the functionality and appearance of ECDIS and ECS applications, though it is not intended for navigation purposes.
