When viewing maps in our platform, you can use a nautical-style background provided by OpenSeaMap, an open-data project that enhances OpenStreetMap with maritime information. This Base Map shows the following:
Community-Driven Nautical Charts: OpenSeaMap builds on the OpenStreetMap foundation, enriched with maritime details such as lighthouses, buoys, beacons, marinas, and sea marks contributed by a global community of sailors and developers.
Global Coverage: Coverage includes coastlines, ports, and navigational features worldwide—though completeness and accuracy can vary depending on community contributions in each region.
Publicly Available and Continuously Growing: The chart data is open and free, regularly updated by volunteers. New features and corrections are added as users contribute and validate data.
Zoom-Responsive Detail: The level of detail adjusts based on your zoom level—offering general sea chart views when zoomed out and more localized nautical features when zoomed 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.
