Orlando, Florida, May 19, 1998 - C-MAP, the world's leading designer and manufacturer of electronic charts and charting systems, has joined forces with Humminbird on the new NS-25, a combination Fish Finder/ GPS/Chartplotter. The NS-25 has outstanding four level gray scale clarity presented in a high resolution 320 X 240 LCD display. Split screen viewing allows sonar and C-MAP navigational information to be simultaneously displayed. The unit is designed with single key selection, allowing easy transition to other sonar navigational views. C-MAP and Humminbird unveiled the NS-25 at the ASA's ICAST Show in Orlando, FL.

"C-MAP has world-wide recognition as the accepted standard for quality and versatility in the electronic charting marketplace. We see many, many advantages which C-MAP affords," commented Dave Nelsen, Humminbird's Software Development Manager. C-MAP's versatility gives the NS-25 a wide range of markets in which it can be offered:

• Marine Offshore: Highly detailed, quality global coverage of over 10,000 official navigable charts.

• Super Lakes: Detailed State and Federal maps of the best fishing lakes including local information.

• Inland: For fishing, boating, camping and driving in the continental US using 1:100,000 USGS scale maps.

Cindy Russell, C-MAP's Sales & Marketing Manager, added, "This is C-MAPNT cartography. It is a new level of detail and precision. Depth contours, spot soundings, NavAids and much more are accurately shown on horizontally seamless charts that allow for quick panning and zooming to get a quick view of what's ahead. C-MAP and Humminbird know that by using C-MAPNT cartography in the NS-25, the angler gets the extra needed advantage to catch the big one, no matter where he is fishing!"

The business partnership of Humminbird and C-MAP brings together two of the world's more recognized as well as respected names in marine electronic technology. Both anticipate an enthusiastic acceptance to the newly developed NS-25. The unit couples state of the art quality and design, along with an amazingly affordable price to the consumer.
