I just received the dealer NFR copy of NOBELTEC Admiral MAX Pro today. I Will install soon and provide a brief rundown on the features and functionality. C-Map chart integration is of course the key feature, but I am curious to see what other new functionality and features are included. Stay tuned…

NOBELTEC Admiral and VNS MAX Pro will begin shipping on May 5th. Below is a list of some changes communicated from NOBELTEC:

1. No more site keys. Program unlocks are managed through the USB hardware key and will allow customers to install on up to six PCs as planning stations
2. Passport Deluxe and S-57 charts are no longer supported
3. Raster Plus Pack is required for viewing BSB charts (free plus pack)
4. MAX Pro charts will not be sold in packages with vouchers until the next database (like WF) is released as all full packages and upgrades will contain all required chart discs.
5. New chart installer for MAX Pro charts. Same chart installer for plus packs, radar, sounder, etc
