Following trade press release may be of interest to listees: Quote: C-Map launches C-Marina.com By IBI Magazine C-MAP says its newly launched C-Marina.com website provides marina owners and operators with a means of updating their marina facility information on C-MAP's extensive worldwide marina database C-Marina.com, a complement to www.c-map.com, allows boaters to view information about the port or marina of their choice, they can use the site to find important information like sailing news, weather reports, image galleries and more. By visiting the Port Book section of the site, boaters can select any worldwide marina from the database, view detailed charts, check marina layout and facilities and access a wealth of useful information "This is another step in our ongoing initiative to expand the realm of electronic charting and bring in important new value-added data," said Wayne Norwood, manager of C-MAP's Port Partners division. "For example, our new C-Marina charts are created from our own proprietary database, offering the boater a level of detail never before available in an electronic chart. The success of our ports/marina database and our Port Partners (a program that offers discounts on everything from slip rentals to boating supplies to towing services for Club C-MAP members) is a natural evolution in addressing this very important aspect of our customers' needs," added Norwood, "while addressing the location where most keep their boatsI at marinas." Coming soon to the site will be the ability to make slip reservations and other important arrangements right over the Internet, as well as direct to one's chart plotter. Users will also be able to store screen pictures and routes saved in the 'My Marina' section. Unquote Bob www.kelticstar.com Would you take your family to sea in anything less...?
