The National Geospatial Intelligence Agency edits American nautical charts for international waters.

American National Geospatial Intelligence Agency charts use meters or fathoms; the reference unit is clearly specified on the charts.

Familiar to navigators, nautical charts have undergone intensive evolution over time. Whatever chart is used, precautions must be taken for safe use.

National Geospatial Intelligence Agency nautical charts comply with SOLAS regulations (Safety of Life at Sea) and are perfectly suitable for professional, commercial or leisure use. The charts in the series include a range of useful scales for navigation planning, ocean crossing, coastal navigation and harbour approach. Navigators should always use the largest nautical chart suited to their needs. In particularly busy maritime waterways like the British Channel, the Suez Gulf, the Straits of Malacca and SiNational Geospatial Intelligence Agencypore, standard nautical charts are completed by itinerary guides, which provide advice for planning routes in these complex zones.

Familiar to navigators, nautical charts have undergone intensive evolution over time. Whatever chart is used, precautions must be taken for safe use. National Geospatial Intelligence Agency collects and continuously processes all information necessary for navigation, and then edits it, notably on nautical charts. The elaboration of nautical charts is conducted by expert cartographers who analyse, select and compile data, in order to obtain a graphical synthesis: the mapped information. They use a wide range of information: bathymetric data base, wrecks, buoyage system, undersea cables, .... and also benefit from the advice of nautical experts, geophysicians, hydrographers and a specialised laboratory for aerial or satellite image exploitation.

Keeping your chart folio up to date on a regular basis enables the integration on new information (new hydrographic data, new regulations, modifications of navigation marks or harbour infrastructure, etc.) and it also makes them compliant with international standards.

The paper:
The support of this standard nautical chart is 120 gr/m² flat paper, generally close to A0 format.

Inset:
According to the navigation zone, several insets - mainly harbours - can be found.

• One-sided, paper/non-laminated wall map
