The Nautical Chart Base Map delivers high-quality electronic navigational charts (ENCs) powered by ChartWorld GmbH. This Base Map shows the following:

  • Official Chart Data: The maps include up-to-date electronic charts sourced from professional navigation data, providing accurate and detailed marine information.

  • Global Coverage: The chart service includes global maritime coverage, allowing seamless mapping over oceans, ports, and coastal areas.

  • Regular Updates: The charts are automatically maintained and updated by ChartWorld. Official ENC data is typically refreshed on a weekly basis, ensuring the latest navigational features are always shown.

  • Smart Scaling: The base charts are viewable at a global scale of 1:1,000,000, suitable for broad situational awareness. More detailed chart appears dynamically as you zoom in.

The Base Maps are intended for reference only: These charts are intended for background and situational awareness. They are not approved for navigation purposes. This service enhances the geospatial context of your data, especially in coastal, port, or maritime-related applications.
