NOAA:

NOAA Raster Navigational Chart

In the United States, all official nautical paper charts produced by NOAA's Office of Coast Survey (OCS) are available in raster format. A fundamental tool of marine navigation, NOAA's Raster Navigational Charts (NOAA RNCs™) are produced by scanning at high resolution the original color separates, which are used to print the paper charts. NOAA adds to the digital raster file such features as data describing the chart, its datum, projection, and its geo-reference. Geo-referencing enables a computer-based navigation system that is connected to a GPS to locate and display on the chart image on screen the vessel's exact position.

 

Nav Master II  uses NOAA's Native Format of BSB in order to display a graphical presentation of your current longitude and latitude of your exact nautical position within the NOAA Charts.

The Nav Master II seamless integration with NOAA nautical charts, makes your voyage a safe adventure.
