How to identify if a cell on Update CD only
In this example, EE213053 is a newly released cell and the data is only available on the AVCS Update CD, so the Base CD column is blank. The week number (39) shown in the Update CD column relates to the first week's Update CD that the data for the cell can be found on. So, for a customer who has just added EE213053 to their licence, they will require only an Update CD from Week 39 or later to install the data for the cell on their ECDIS.
