If you boat, you need charts. If you have charts, you need this book. This is a replacement for the government published chart 1. It is well laid out and easy to use once you spend a few minutes with it and a chart of your favorite area for boating.Quibles - The abbreviations are split into three sections, so if you don't find your chart abbreviation in one index, go to the next, or the next. I feel that this would be more useful as one index, with descriptions like in a dictionary - Fl G - (All) Flashing Green light.....
If you're a mariner or aspiring, this is a must-have. It contains all those curious markers you'll see on electronic and paper charts. If you love thumbing through minutia and saying "oooohhh" and "huh!" a lot, this is for you.Let's go sailing!
This Chart No 1 has all the new symbols on it as well as the ones we are used to reading. They did a great job. The pages are laminated, the colors are accurate. Electronic Nav. charts are included so you can see what symbols are on your instruments. A lot of material for study in this book.
What's not to love about a book filled with little symbols and their meanings? This is the official legend for all the nautical charts published in the US, both paper and electronic. For those of us who read these, this greatly enhances understanding and usefulness. Should be on every sailors bookshelf or boat.
No boater should be without itAlmost too nice to take to seaPages are semi gloss appear to be water resistant beautiful colors lots more information lays flat spiral bindingUser friendly larger size easy to readAnd electronic chart display information systems ( ECDIS) is a big plus list goes on and on. You need it buy it be safe
I used this book while taking an ASA sailing course on navigation. It is easy to use and great for someone who has never looked at a chart before.
Well, the print is not quite that small but hard to read. I couldn't understand why they used such a small font when they had plenty of room to use a more readable size. I would not buy a similar publication like this again
I am a map person and this guide is the ultimate resource for ALL icon/keys on every ocean or lake chart currently published in the USA. Highly educational for the boater who wants to be able to read and understand your chart down to the smallest detail.
