C-MAP has been the force behind the evolution of electronic
charting. It is currently the world leader in the electronic cartography
industry in terms of production capacity, sales volume of data and plotter
systems as well as scientific contributions and technical innovations in
the industry.
Since the introduction of radar, no other technology has
revolutionized the industry like that of electronic charting. C-MAP has
been the pioneer of this technology. C-MAP USA, located on Cape Cod is one
of 15 companies in the C-MAP family located in eleven countries throughout
the world.
C-MAP USA's primary mission is to produce and distribute
electronic charts in its territory of the Americas. These electronic charts
are used in over 25 different marine electronics manufacturer's charting
systems. The basic use of these electronic charting systems is to graphically
show you were you are, where you've been and where you're going.
Two other companies have their home on Cape Cod with C-MAP
USA, they are
C-MAP Aviation & C-MAP Commercial.
C-MAP Aviation provides electronic charts to the general
aviation community. In addition, they also market and sell a vehicle tracking/monitoring
system custom designed for airport use.
C-MAP Commercial is responsible for the sales and marketing
of electronic charts for the commercial shipping & military market sector.
C-MAP USA's customers are many; they range from small recreational
boaters using small-dedicated chartplotters to aircraft carriers sailing
around the world with advanced electronic charting systems.
Our electronic chart database contains over 14,000 charts
covering virtually every harbor and port throughout the world. The electronic
chart data is available on several different mediums; C-cards or Cartridges
for the dedicated chartplotters and CD's & floppy disks for PC use.
In addition to the marine market, C-MAP has also developed
an Inland database of electronic charts or maps to meet the growing demand
for this technology by boaters in the nations interior.
The Super Lake Series, a growing list of over 75 of the
most popular lakes in the United States and Canada, are highly detailed,
large-scale maps containing bottom contours and detailed local shoreside
information to include, but not limited to, marinas, boat launching areas
and campsites.
C-MAP USA and its sister companies employ over fifty people
at their Cape Cod offices. Their operations include obtaining paper chart
data from government sources, digitizing the data, editing and transferring
the data to readable cartridges. The hardware to read the cartridges is
produced by C-MAP USA's foreign affiliates. Sales, marketing and advertising
for the United States are all coordinated on Cape Cod.
Ken Cirillo, Vice President and General Manager oversees
the operations of the United States affiliated companies. Ken's experience
includes several years as an officer with the National Oceanographic and
Atmospheric Association serving on vessels conducting mapping surveys and
scientific research.
In 1992, C-MAP USA spun-off from its original technology
partner and became responsible for its own financial and accounting management.
At that point the company had five employees and was operating out of a
small office. Ken contacted Nick Puniello to guide them through the establishment
of a comprehensive accounting system. The company grew rapidly and the accounting
function grew exponentially. Nick has guided C-MAP in establishing an inventory
control system, reporting to the foreign parent company and eventually accounting
for transactions with fifteen affiliated companies. "The tax and accounting
issues mounted and we have been able to rely on Nick for sound advice during
our rapid growth stage" said Ken Cirillo.
