I appreciate that but I hope that here, I'm just another trawler owner.

I think the pricing display is tougher than you imagine. Part of the problem is owned by the company but some complexities of chart ownership and the royalties and country fees make for a very complex pricing structure. Just consider that C-Map supports the entire world of nautical charts. It's much easier if you're purchasing a product that only supports the US. We're a bit spoiled here in the US because we're used to simple pricing for charts (quite often free). The rest of the world is a lot more complex. When C-Map asks for your account, they're honestly trying to provide better information and less confusion.
