Authoritative, practical, and hands-on information on reading
and relying on electronic and paper nautical charts
The classic "How to Read a Nautical Chart" explains every
aspect of electronic and paper nautical charts: how a chart is
assembled, how to gauge the accuracy of chart data, how to read
charts created by other governments, how to use information such as
scale, projection technique and datum that every chart contains;
how not to get fooled or run aground by overzooming. Nigel Calder
teaches you how to squeeze every ounce of information out of a
nautical chart (on your GPS, chartplotter, or nav station) and
understand the limits of accuracy for all charts, paper and
electronic, raster and vector. This much-awaited second edition
addresses the changes in the world of electronic charting,
integrated onboard navigation systems, as well as radar overlays
and AIS and their interfacing with charts. A new chapter on the
Wiki Revolution explores the mechanisms allowing you to incorporate
user-generated content into navigational products and share this
content with others--harnessing a user-base never before possible.
Calder also explores how 3D-technology and real-time depth and
weather information is creating interactive charting capacities
that are fundamentally changing how we navigate. Calder's unique,
practical insights will help you to navigate safely for years to
come.
