Nautical charts are essential for safe navigation on the water. They provide important information about waters, coastlines, and obstacles. Both traditional paper and modern digital nautical charts help you keep track of everything.

  • Nautical charts – the basis for safe navigation

    Nautical charts are essential for navigation at sea and contain important information such as seaways, coastlines, shoals, navigation marks, and traffic separation schemes. In addition to traditional paper nautical charts, there are now also digital versions that can be used with chart plotters or apps, thus facilitating navigation on board.

  • Details and important information on nautical charts

    In addition to the scale and year of issue, nautical charts provide information on depth contours, wrecks, dangerous currents, and restricted areas. Navigational markers such as lighthouses and beacons are also marked. Depths are based on the nautical chart zero, which is usually below the map horizon.

  • Combine paper and electronic nautical charts sensibly

    Paper charts are independent of technical devices and indispensable in the event of a system failure. Navigational tools such as compasses and course triangles are recommended for navigation with paper charts. Electronic charts offer automatic updates and can be connected to GPS and chart plotters, displaying position in real time.

  • Modern digital nautical charts and their history

    Electronic nautical charts are database-based and provide high-resolution, flexible chart images. In the awn shop, you'll find high-quality digital nautical charts from brands like Garmin and Navionics. The evolution from paper to electronic nautical charts is thanks to advances in measurement technology and satellite navigation, which make precise navigation possible today.
