Smaller boating charts in practical format are well suited for the cockpit and smaller boats, while official nautical charts from chart authorities provide greater overview and cover larger geographical areas per chart sheet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-paper-or-waterproof-material\">Paper or Waterproof Material<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Nautical charts are available both on traditional chart paper and on waterproof and tear-resistant material such as Tyvek. Paper charts are more affordable, while waterproof charts withstand moisture, folding, and heavy use. Remember that nautical charts are perishable \u2013 updated charts are more important than material choice.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-scale\">Scale<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For coastal navigation, a scale of approximately 1:50,000 or larger is recommended. Smaller scales are used for planning and overview of longer passages. Many chart series combine different scales in the same package.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-updates-and-corrections\">Updates and Corrections<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Nautical charts are regularly updated through Notices to Mariners (NtM). Our Print-on-Demand charts are produced with current corrections as of the production date. Updated nautical charts are an important part of good seamanship.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-advanced-heading uagb-block-f3d22141\"><h2 class=\"uagb-heading-text\">Frequently Asked Questions About Nautical Charts<\/h2><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-faq uagb-faq__outer-wrap uagb-block-7b06812d uagb-faq-icon-row uagb-faq-layout-accordion uagb-faq-expand-first-true uagb-faq-inactive-other-true uagb-faq__wrap uagb-buttons-layout-wrap uagb-faq-equal-height     \" data-faqtoggle=\"true\" role=\"tablist\"><div class=\"wp-block-uagb-faq-child uagb-faq-child__outer-wrap uagb-faq-item uagb-block-dbcc0d1a \" role=\"tab\" tabindex=\"0\"><div class=\"uagb-faq-questions-button uagb-faq-questions\">\t\t\t<span class=\"uagb-icon uagb-faq-icon-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"https:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox= \"0 0 448 512\"><path d=\"M432 256c0 17.69-14.33 32.01-32 32.01H256v144c0 17.69-14.33 31.99-32 31.99s-32-14.3-32-31.99v-144H48c-17.67 0-32-14.32-32-32.01s14.33-31.99 32-31.99H192v-144c0-17.69 14.33-32.01 32-32.01s32 14.32 32 32.01v144h144C417.7 224 432 238.3 432 256z\"><\/path><\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"uagb-icon-active uagb-faq-icon-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"https:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox= \"0 0 448 512\"><path d=\"M400 288h-352c-17.69 0-32-14.32-32-32.01s14.31-31.99 32-31.99h352c17.69 0 32 14.3 32 31.99S417.7 288 400 288z\"><\/path><\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t<span class=\"uagb-question\">What is the difference between official nautical charts and boating charts?<\/span><\/div><div class=\"uagb-faq-content\"><p>Official nautical charts are published by national mapping authorities such as the Norwegian Mapping Authority, Swedish Maritime Administration and Danish Geodata Agency.
