If you’ve ever wondered what is the logic behind the chart references found on our online nautical chart catalogue, here’s the answer.
All our charts present the same information when you make a search on our online nautical chart catalogue: name of the zone (Baltic Sea and Denmark in the example below), number of files that you must download in order to install the chart (8 in the example) and chart reference (WVJENM299MAP13.1):
If you already have the chart reference, you can type it in the search bar (green rectangle in the image above). If you put at least 3 characters, our online nautical chart catalogue will display all the chart zones that start with that 3 characters, that’s called stemming.
But be careful, old versions of some chart zones may have a different syntax.
Take the UK-Ireland Raster chart for example:
TIMEZERO online nautical chart catalogue only displays the latest version of all charts, so if you try to find your old UK-Ireland chart by typing “R28P-MAP/01″ you’ll never find it!
Here’s how TIMEZERO charts are structured:
SIZE = W wide or MW MegaWide (do you know the difference?)
TYPE = V vector or R raster (an old and interesting debate among sailors)
PROVIDER = M MapMedia J C-MAP (previously by Jeppesen) N Navionics S S-57
REGION CODE = first 2 characters
AF Africa
AN Asia North
AS Asia South
AU Australia
EM Europe Mediterranean
EN Europe North
EW Europe West
IN Indian Ocean
ME Middle East
NA North America
SA South America
PC Pacific Ocean
CODE NUMBER = 000
