How do nautical chart data providers work? How do they get chart corrections to you? MapMedia then converts integrates their charts into our proprietary mm3d format. MapMedia does not correct the C-MAP and Datacore nautical charts as this is done by Jeppesen and Navionics before we receive their data. MapMedia works with various vendors such as Jeppesen and Navionics, as well as national Hydrographic Services. We will try to explain here how it works, the relationship between MapMedia and data suppliers such as Jeppesen (C-MAP charts) or Navionics (Datacore charts) and also answer the question of who does what. All waters outside these areas will show up as a watermark on the map with the text "Navionics".Many of you have questions about updates of nautical charts.
