Standard Raster Charts

 

Our standard Raster Charts are electronic versions of the familiar nautical paper charts and are ideal for use as a base map or a simple nautical chart background. Raster Charts are derived from raster-based material obtained under licence from the UK, and other, Hydrographic Offices. They provide familiarity for users who work with nautical charts, are pre-symbolised and ready for immediate use.

Raster Charts can be opened using any image viewer software and are available as individual charts for different geographic areas at discrete scale levels.

Technical Details
  • Easily opened using an image viewer software
  • Available as individual charts for different geographic areas at discrete scale levels
  • Supplied in GIS compatible file formats (GeoTIFF)
  • Supplied as individual charts

We obtain Raster Charts under licence from the UK, and other, Hydrographic Offices. Availability is dependent on permissions granted by contributing nations worldwide.

Raster Charts are supplied as individual charts and priced per chart. Prices vary depending on the area and scale required.
