Admiralty How to Keep Your ADMIRALTY Products Up-to-Date. NP294 (ALRS)

Издание на английском языке
The purpose of this document is to set out clearly and simply the essential points of good chart and publication maintenance - both paper and digital.
This document does not attempt to teach navigation. In the case of paper charts and publications, it is assumed that you are able to plot from the text of an ADMIRALTY Notice to Mariners and that you know how to position the updates accurately on the chart.
For the purpose of demonstrating paper chart updating techniques, the examples shown are based on charts that were updated by the UK Hydrographic Office.
