Absolutely but what we had here was a discussion of course up or north up and some examples given were aviation in nature where we use air to mud maps(topo's) and air nav charts and then of course we have marine charts. They are definitely not the same and one should be very specific about which type you are referring to as they give a very different view and information about an area. For example an air chart is just about totally useless to a mariner except it shows the outline of the coast and perhaps a few radio stations 'likewise for other various charts and maps. Specific uses for each type of map or chart. Marine charts are what we should be using in conjunction with our GPS and radars as one of the primary legal aids to navigation on the water.Thanks AA, So glad to read someone refer to them as Charts and not maps. I know its just semantics, but I am a stickler for correct terminology ;-)
