Updates / News
In Essentials, page 8 and 9 on chart names, we chose examples from San Pedro Bay, CA as these were new, reschemed charts, but NOAA just now (Oct, 2023) decided the bathymetry was not accurate enough for these 1:5,000 charts so they have removed that set of 11 berthing charts, at least temporarily. We will wait awhile before changing the example to see if they get reinstated. In the meantime to see other large scale reschemed charts, look at the NE US in the NOAA ENC catalog. |
