I have the Navman 12" plotter amongst the boats electronics and it is my main instrument for finding and fishing marks.
It takes the CT Max card and I have an annoying problem. Most of the time the zoom scale goes down to 0.03 miles which is ideal when plotting a wreck however on a lot of occassions (mainly on my favourite wrecks) it will only zoom in to 0.1 miles.
As you appreciate there is a big difference and you cannot work accurately at 0.1 mile.
I am told by the card manufaturer that this is common place and then certain areas of the sea are deemed more important and therefore programmed with a bigger zoom range.
Has anyone else come across this and did you find a fix? There is a second card slot in the plotter and I did wonder if there was a second card that could give greater accuracy.
It is very frustrating and, if this is correct, I would advise strongly against buying any system that utilises CT Max especially if you wish to fish offshore.
