However, in Navionics+ format, the large 46XG covers the whole of western Europe⁸ - Kiel to Ushant, the UK south coast, Biscay, Iberia, Canaries and Azores, Morocco, Algeria, Mediterranean France, Ibiza and Corsia. The two overlap less than the two C-Map charts, and the Iberian one covers a bit of the Western Med, but they're broadly comparable in coverage they're priced about 30% more. Moving onto Navionics, their Platinum+ has similar coverage to C-Map - Large Chart 25P+ covers South UK (inc Ushant and Channel France) to Hamburg⁶, and Large Chart 31P+ covers Iberia⁷ (inc French Biscay). (Honestly, I don't really doubt the helpful gentleman from MarineChandlery-dot-com, I am just amazed by this kind of pricing) Whereas you can get the whole of the UK for about twice that! Is the level of detail really the same? Y319 covers the Solent down to Falmouth⁵ and it's £125. I spoke to a guy from MarineChandlery-dot-com today and he was very helpful, but I am surprised that C-Map sell "local" charts that are disproportionately expensive - they are half the price of the wide charts, but cover a fraction of the area (perhaps a tenth or even a twentieth). The difference is that Max-N+ has "easy routing" and aerial / satellite photos⁴ (only of selected harbours?) but it doesn't matter anyway because they're the same price or pretty close. These C-Map charts are available in MAX-N and MAX-N+ varieties.
It seems to me that if I want to sail from Amsterdam¹ to the Spanish Rias I have to buy two overlapping C-Map "wide" charts, Y227² (Kiel to Biscay) and Y228³ (Ushant to Morocco, Canaries Azores).

I didn't realise until yesterday that the Vulcan can also accept Navionics charts - B&G are giving away a free C-Map chart of the UK with purchases this month, so I started out looking at C-Map's offerings. eBay is not affiliated with or endorsed by Navionics.B&G seem to be trying to sell as many plotters as they can by the end of May, so I'm thinking to pick up a Vulcan, but I'm finding the chart options very confusing.
